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

这是一个基于成就的更新奖，基于Andreoni博士以前的NSF奖SES 1658952的结果。他将继续研究公平，正义和道德责任的想法如何影响经济决策，包括慈善捐赠的决定。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理论。新的研究将集中在长期的公平和正义的想法。他将使用决策实验，看看个人如何在一个人今天做出的决定伤害未来参与者的情况下做出决定。这包括旨在测试关于代际资源分配的决定在不同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，也许他或她的继承人面临的情况是，社会同意经济损害多年来一直在增加（例如，应计利息）。另一种可能性是，伤害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，用于考虑经济效率，正义和公平的高中和大学课程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值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.
