我们检验了关于农户参与社区工作动机的四个备选假设：公共产品投资、生产网络形成、风险分担网络形成和纯粹利他主义。我们使用了一个独特的数据集，从斯里兰卡的灌溉项目下的一个自然的实验情况下，很大一部分灌溉土地是通过彩票机制分配。此外，我们还使用独裁者游戏来引出利他主义的水平。通过结合这些数据，我们发现社区参与模式比其他主要动机更适合形成风险分担网络的动机。只有少数研究对风险分担网络的形成过程进行了实证研究，我们的分析填补了文献中的差距。
We tested four alternative hypotheses concerning the motivations behind the participation by rural households in community work: public goods investment, production network formation, risk‐sharing network formation, and pure altruism. We used a unique dataset from an irrigation project in Sri Lanka under a natural experimental situation where a significant portion of irrigated land was allocated through a lottery mechanism. In addition, we elicited the level of altruism using the dictator game. By combining these data, we showed that community participation patterns fit the motive to form risk‐sharing networks better than the other major motives. Only a few studies have empirically investigated the process of risk‐sharing network formation, and our analysis fills the gap in the literature.
