摘要

我们研究持续参与政治运动的原因。为了确定参与抗议活动的持续影响，我们随机间接激励香港大学生参与反权威抗议活动。为了确定社交网络的作用，我们在主要队列细胞中随机化了这种治疗的强度。我们发现，在政治运动中参加一次抗议活动的动机会增加随后的抗议出席人数，但只有当个人社交网络中有足够一部分人也被激励参加最初的抗议活动时。一次性动员冲击具有动态影响，社会网络层面的动员对持续的政治参与至关重要。（JEL D72、D74、I23、Z13）

Persistent Political Engagement: Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements

We study the causes of sustained participation in political movements. To identify the persistent effect of protest participation, we randomly indirectly incentivize Hong Kong university students into participation in an antiauthoritarian protest. To identify the role of social networks, we randomize this treatment’s intensity across major-cohort cells. We find that incentives to attend one protest within a political movement increase subsequent protest attendance but only when a sufficient fraction of an individual’s social network is also incentivized to attend the initial protest. One-time mobilization shocks have dynamic consequences, with mobilization at the social network level important for sustained political engagement. (JEL D72, D74, I23, Z13)
