保护生物多样性的国际努力取决于跨国合作和公众对跨国政策的支持。然而，我们对什么可能迫使公民支持这种跨国保护努力知之甚少。在本文中，我们设计了一个现场实验室，以探讨如何不同的框架和跨国界共享的支持信息影响公民的保护捐款。使用独裁者游戏，我们从丹麦、西班牙和加纳的个人那里寻求捐款，以保护迁徙的蒙塔古鹞（马戏团pygargus）的自然栖息地。我们关注的是来自丹麦、西班牙和加纳的公民，因为这些国家沿着猎兔犬的迁徙路线。我们发现，信息会影响捐赠行为，尽管每个国家的情况不同。当（1）捐赠前的信息强调需要跨国合作时，我们的丹麦和加纳参与者做出了更多的贡献，（2）他们被告知他们团体的捐赠措施将被转发给其他参与者。相比之下，我们的西班牙参与者总体捐赠较少，对信息处理不敏感。结果记录了各国在支持这种跨国保护环境中的行为方面存在的巨大差异，并可能影响国际保护组织如何组织和塑造其工作的筹款方式。
International efforts to protect biodiversity depend on transnational collaboration and on public support for transnational policies to be implemented. Yet, we know little about what may compel citizens to support such transnational conservation efforts. In this paper, we design a lab-in-the-field experiment to explore how different framings and information about support shared across borders affect a citizen's conservation donations. Using a dictator game, we ask for donations from individuals in Denmark, Spain, and Ghana for the protection of natural habitats of the migratory Montagu's Harrier (Circus pygargus). We focus on citizens from Denmark, Spain and Ghana since these countries lie along the harrier's migratory route. We found that information affects donation behavior, albeit differently in each country. Our Danish and Ghanaian participants contributed more when (1) pre-donation information stressed that transnational collaboration is needed, and (2) they were told that a measure of their group's donation would be forwarded to other participants. In contrast, our Spanish participants donated less overall and were insensitive to the information treatments. The results document large differences across countries in supporting behavior in such transnational conservation settings and could influence how international conservation organizations organize and shape fundraising for their work.
