本文探讨了气候谈判者是否有公平的偏好，以及这些偏好是否有助于解释国际气候政策中的不同立场。为此，我们与参与国际气候政策的个人进行了一次在线实验。实验包括两个简单的非策略性游戏，适合测量个人对不平等的厌恶程度，这是费尔和施密特（Quarterly Journal of Economics 114：817-868，1999）的股权偏好模型所描述的。我们发现，我们的参与者表现出厌恶有利的不平等在相当程度上，而厌恶不利的不平等是适度的。关于我们样本中的地理多样性，我们无法确认世界不同地区之间不平等厌恶程度的显著差异。我们的结论是，在应对气候变化方面的区域差异更多地是由国家利益而不是不同的公平问题驱动的。
This paper investigates whether climate negotiators have preferences for equity and whether these preferences may help to explain different positions in international climate policy. For this purpose we conducted an online experiment with individuals who had been involved in international climate policy. The experiment consisted of two simple non-strategic games suited to measure individual inequality aversion as captured by the equity preference model of Fehr and Schmidt (Quarterly Journal of Economics 114:817–868, 1999). We find that our participants show an aversion to advantageous inequality to a considerable extent while the aversion to disadvantageous inequality is moderate. Regarding the geographical variety in our sample, we cannot confirm significant differences in the degree of inequality aversion between different regions in the world. Our conclusion is that regional differences in addressing climate change are driven more by national interests than by different equity concerns.
