摘要

我们在英国研究了彩票中奖对社会关系及其不同类型的影响，包括支持网络。平均而言，我们发现，在大多数日子里，彩票中奖越多，结识朋友的可能性就越大，这与收入对社会关系强度的互补效应是一致的。与此相反的是，由于更多的工具原因(如与邻居交谈)而建立的社会关系。在彩票中赢得更多也减少了个人支持网络，与收入和支持网络的替代一致。然而，进一步的稳健性检查显示，这种平均彩票效应仅由表现出非常大的奖金的个人驱动，因此表明中小型奖金(低于1万英镑)可能不足以以实质性的方式改变人们的社会关系和支持网络。

Does money strengthen our social ties? Longitudinal evidence of lottery winners

We study the effect of lottery wins on the strength of social ties and its different types, including support networks, in the United Kingdom. On average, we find that winning more in the lottery increases the probability of meeting friends on most days, which is consistent with the complementary effect of income on the strength of social ties. The opposite is true with regards to social ties held for more instrumental reasons such as talking to neighbours. Winning more in the lottery also lessens an individual support network consistently with a substitution of income and support network. However, further robustness checks reveal that such average lottery effects are driven by individuals exhibiting very large wins only, thus suggesting that small to medium-sized wins (below £10k) may not be enough to change people’s social ties and support network in a substantial way.

期刊介绍： Rationality & Society focuses on the growing contributions of rational-action based theory, and the questions and controversies surrounding this growth. Why Choose Rationality and Society? The trend toward ever-greater specialization in many areas of intellectual life has lead to fragmentation that deprives scholars of the ability to communicate even in closely adjoining fields. The emergence of the rational action paradigm as the inter-lingua of the social sciences is a remarkable exception to this trend. It is the one paradigm that offers the promise of bringing greater theoretical unity across disciplines such as economics, sociology, political science, cognitive psychology, moral philosophy and law.
