To segregate, or to discriminate-that is the question : experiment on identity and social preferences

How do various sources of social identity affect segregation and discrimination decisions? In our laboratory experiment, social identity originates either from similar preferences, income, abil- ity, randomly or from shared socioeconomic status. For the latter, we exploit Colombia's unique (pub...

description How do various sources of social identity affect segregation and discrimination decisions? In our laboratory experiment, social identity originates either from similar preferences, income, abil- ity, randomly or from shared socioeconomic status. For the latter, we exploit Colombia's unique (public information) stratification system which assigns households to socioeconomic strata based on its residential block amenities. Subjects decide with whom to in- teract in a Dictator and Trust Game. We find high socioeconomic status senders segregate against out-group receivers in the Dicta- tor Game, while low socioeconomic ones do so in the Trust Game. This segregation pattern is partly explained by payoff-maximizing behavior. In the Trust Game, we gather evidence for statistical discrimination. In the Dictator Game, evidence points to a taste for redistribution when identity originates from socioeconomic sta- tus or income level. No matter the source of identity, our subjects expect being segregated but not discriminated against.

En nuestro experimento de laboratorio, la identidad social se origina ya sea a partir de preferencias, ingresos, o habilidades similares, del azar o de un estatus socioeconómico compartido. Para esto ¿ultimo, explotamos el sistema de estratificación de Colombia (que es información pública) que asigna hogares a estratos socioeconómica en función de los recursos de sus cuadras residenciales. Los sujetos deciden con quien interactuar en el juego del dictador y de confianza. Encontramos que los remitentes de alto nivel socioeconómico segregan a los receptores que no pertenecen a su mismo grupo en el juego del dictador, mientras que los remitentes de bajo nivel socioeconómico lo hacen en el juego de la confianza. Este patrón de Segregación se explica en parte por un comportamiento maximizado de beneficios. En el juego de la confianza, encontramos evidencia a favor de discriminación estadística. En el juego del dictador, la evidencia apunta a un gusto por la redistribución cuando la identidad se origina en el estatus socioeconómico o en el nivel de ingresos. No importa la fuente de identidad, nuestros sujetos esperan ser segregados pero no discriminados.50 páginasengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 31 Agosto de 2020https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/018355.htmlTo segregate, or to discriminate-that is the question : experiment on identity and social preferencesDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPClases sociales - Aspectos socioeconómicos - ColombiaEstratificación social - ColombiaSegregación - ColombiaC91, D91, J15, Z13Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2020-31.pdfdcede2020-31.pdfapplication/pdf1013019https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/1e01f609-8b74-44f5-9ef6-739c1349f9be/downloada412b57761cbbccb8211fed61204908fMD51THUMBNAILdcede2020-31.pdf.jpgdcede2020-31.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg10793https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/474069d2-220f-4129-835a-5ef20db26c82/download9ab9e0933678590f05c13040af8bb0c8MD55TEXTdcede2020-31.pdf.txtdcede2020-31.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain120681https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/9065ad2c-968d-45c9-aa5a-6b175c69b641/download4c9588385b6b68ed6f50c449470af62bMD541992/45866oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/458662024-06-04 15:43:58.858http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
