题目：Testing Fare Evasion in the Lab: The Moral Cost of Dishonesty

讲座人：代志新

内容提要：We study the impact of the size of deception on cheating behavior for various probabilities of detection and various amounts of fine in risky or ambiguous environments. We combine the control offered by the laboratory environment with the realism from using a representative sample of the adult population using public transportations in a big French city. For this sample, we are able to identify actual cheating behavior in public transportations. In this artefactual field experiment, subjects make successive decisions between buying and not buying a ticket for various distances, a longer distance without a ticket representing a bigger deception than a short distance fare dodging.  Our results show that: (1) Both fare-dodgers and non-fare-dodgers in real life respond to changes in the certainty, the detection probability, and the severity of punishment. (2) Actual fare-dodgers cheat significantly more in the game than non-fare-dodgers. (3) The cheating rate is significantly lower for longer distances even in the common knowledge absence of control, suggesting that even actual fare-dodgers have moral costs of lying.
