2023年4月27日，东北财经大学高等经济研究院助理教授王兴华与西班牙庞培法布拉大学副教授Daniel Navarro-Martinez 合作的论文 "Bridging the gap between the economics lab and the field: Dictator games and donations" 被实验经济学与行为决策领域权威期刊 Judgement and Decision Making 接收发表。Judgment and Decision Making 是 Society for Judgment and Decision Making (SJDM) 和 the European Association for Decision Making (EADM) 官方期刊。

经济学实验的外部有效性是实验经济学的一个根本性问题。社会性偏好博弈是实验经济学乃至整个行为科学用以研究社会性偏好的主要工具。但是目前的大多数研究都对这些游戏的外部有效性提出了质疑。本文从实验室和现实世界在情境上的差异出发，着眼于独裁者博弈和现实世界中的捐款行为。本文通过几个关联实验，证明消除这些情境差异可以提高实验室研究的外部有效性。这为如何开展有外部效力的经济学实验提供了有价值的启示。

Entitled "Bridging the gap between the economics lab and the field: Dictator games and donations", the paper was co-authored with Daniel Navarro-Martinez, Associate Professor at Pompeu Fabra University. Judgment and Decision Making is the official journal of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making (SJDM) and the European Association for Decision Making (EADM).

The external validity of economic experiments is a fundamental question in experimental economics. Social preference games are the main tools used to study social preferences in experimental economics and the whole behavioral science. Many existing studies, however, questioned the external validity of these games. This paper studies contextual differences between laboratory experiments and the real world, focusing on the dictator game and donations in the field. By conducting several interconnected experiments, we showed that it is possible to increase the external validity of laboratory games by eliminating the contextual differences. Our results have wide-ranging implications for conducting externally valid economic experiments.
