2023年6月23日,高等经济研究院助理教授王兴华与庞培法布拉大学Daniel Navarro-Martinez 副教授合作的论文 "Increasing the external validity of social preference games by reducing measurement error" 被经济学领域权威期刊 Games and Economic Behavior 接收发表。

该论文主要研究经济学实验的外部有效性。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。但是越来越多的研究开始质疑这些博弈的外部有效性。本文表明社会性偏好博弈和生活中的单次亲社会行为的关联度较低,但是可以通过加总单次行为来减少测量误差,从而增加博弈行为和生活中的亲社会行为的关联度。这为研究经济学博弈的外部有效性和适用性提供了重要启示。



Assistant Professor Xinghua Wang's Paper Accepted for Publication in Games and Economic Behavior

Xinghua WANG, IAER Assistant Professor, had his paper accepted for publication in Games and Economic Behavior on June 23rd, 2023. Entitled "Increasing the external validity of social preference games by reducing measurement error", the paper was co-authored with Daniel Navarro-Martinez, Associate Professor at Pompeu Fabra University.


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. However, an increasing number of studies call into question the external validity of social preference games. This paper shows that social preference games have a low correlation with single pro-social behaviors in the field, but this correlation can be substantially increased by aggregating behaviors to reduce measurement error. This has crucial implications for the external validity and applicability of economic games.
