题目:Paternalism in a world of uncertainty: An experimental study
摘要When are people more strongly motivated to intervene in others’ decisions under risk? We consider two dimensions: the difficulty of the decision problems and the informational advantage of the Choice Architect (CA). An easier decision problem, proxied by a larger gap between the expected payoffs of the two options, led to significantly more intervention. In addition, having the opportunity to share private information lowers the intervention from the CA. Moreover, in the information sharing treatment, information sharing and intervention can be either substitutes or complements, depending on the CA’s social preference. We propose a theory of the CA who overestimates the decision errors of the decision maker to describe the CA’s paternalistic behavior.
