一些经济学家认为,公共可见商品的消费是由社会地位驱动的。用观测数据对这一说法进行因果推断是困难的。我们进行了一个实验,在这个实验中,我们改变了购买实物产品是公开可见还是保密的,以及用于购买的收入是否与社会地位有关或随机分配。当收入与地位挂钩时,消费选择的可见性会导致需求的大幅增加,而不是其他情况。我们调查的特点,介导这种影响,并估计其对福利的影响。
Some economists argue that consumption of publicly visible goods is driven by social status. Making a causal inference about this claim is difficult with observational data. We conduct an experiment in which we vary both whether a purchase of a physical product is publicly visible or kept private and whether the income used for purchase is linked to social status or randomly assigned. Making consumption choices visible leads to a large increase in demand when income is linked to status, but not otherwise. We investigate the characteristics that mediate this effect and estimate its impact on welfare.
