Accomplishment-Based Renewal: Experimental Studies of Time Inconsistent Preferences for Risk Fairness and Charitable Giving

这是一个基于成就的续约奖，基于安德罗尼博士之前的国家科学基金会奖，SES 1658952的结果。他将继续研究公平、正义和道德责任的理念如何影响经济决策，包括关于慈善捐赠的决策。该项目将开发新的理论，并通过实验室和现场决策实验来验证该理论。这项新的研究将聚焦于长时间内的公平正义观念。他将使用决策实验来观察在一个人今天做出的决定伤害到未来参与者的情况下，个人是如何做出决定的。这包括旨在测试关于代际资源分配的决定在不同类型的情况下是否一致的工作。这项工作还将包括对时间偏好的测试。如果一个人造成了经济损害，他或她的继承人可能会面临这样一种情况，即社会同意经济损害多年来有所增加(例如，累积利息)。另一种可能性是，这种危害会随着时间的推移而消散。PI还希望将实验室实验作为在线课程的一个组成部分，该在线课程可以用于高中和大学班级，考虑经济效率、公平和公平。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This is an Accomplishment Based Renewal award based on the results from Dr. Andreoni’s previous NSF Award, SES 1658952. He will continue his research on how ideas of fairness, justice and moral responsibility affect economic decisions, including decisions about charitable giving. The project will develop new theories and test the theory with lab and field decision experiments. The new research will focus on ideas of fairness and justice over long time spans. He will use decision making experiments to see how individuals make decisions in situations where one individual makes a decision today that harms future participants. This includes work designed to test whether or not decisions about intergenerational resource allocations are consistent across different kinds of situations. The work will also incorporate tests of time preference. If one person creates an economic harm, perhaps his or her inheritors face a situation where society agrees that the economic harm has increased over the years (e.g., accruing interest). The alternative possibility is that the harm dissipates over time. The PI also wants to use the lab experiments as one component in an online curriculum that can be used in high school and college classes that consider economic efficiency, justice, and equity.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
