论文摘要
Covid-19是否改变了合作的意愿?奥地利大学经济学课程的四个课程连续在电子学习平台上玩公共物品游戏:在危机前一年,其中两个是在2020年3月第一次锁定的开始之后的一年,而在2020年10月第二次锁定的前几天开始,这是一个在2020年10月第二次锁定之前。强加了锁定后,有71%的人选择合作。然而,危机七个月后,合作降至43%。根据是否消除了由实验设计产生的两种类型的偏差,概率和logit回归表明,该下降在0.05或0.1显着性水平上具有统计学意义。
Does COVID-19 change the willingness to cooperate? Four Austrian university courses in economics play a public goods game in consecutive semesters on the e-learning platform Moodle: two of them in the year before the crisis, one immediately after the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020 and the last one in the days before the announcement of the second lockdown in October 2020. Between 67% and 76% of the students choose to cooperate, i.e. contribute to the public good, in the pre-crisis year. Immediately after the imposition of the lockdown, 71% choose to cooperate. Seven months into the crisis, however, cooperation drops to 43%. Depending on whether two types of biases resulting from the experimental design are eliminated or not, probit and logit regressions show that this drop is statistically significant at the 0.05 or the 0.1 significance level.
