模拟真实世界环境对于在实验经济学中获得准确和有意义的结果是至关重要的。提供货币激励是创造这种环境的一种常见方法。一般来说，实验者在实验时提供奖励。在这篇论文中，我们认为，在实验期间收到奖励可能会导致参与者做出决定，就好像他们使用的钱不是他们自己的一样。为了解决这个问题，我们设计了一个“预付机制”，鼓励参与者像使用自己的钱一样使用这笔钱。
Simulating a real world environment is of utmost importance for achieving accurate and meaningful results in experimental economics. Offering monetary incentives is a common method of creating this environment. In general, experimenters provide the rewards at the time of experiment. In this paper, we argue that receiving the reward at the time of the experiment may lead participants to make decisions as if the money they are using were not their own. To solve this problem, we devised a "prepaid mechanism" that encourages participants to use the money as if it were their own.
