Social Preferences on Public Intervention: an empirical investigation based on French Data

In this paper we examine the support given by French households to public intervention for reducing inequalities and improving well-being of the low-income classes. We first discuss to what extent the model of self interest could be relied upon when one wants to take into account social norms to explain the individual demand for redistribution. We find that social beliefs matter for explaining the individual attitudes towards public intervention. We find also that the support given to redistribution can increase or decrease depending on the interaction between reciprocity norms and beliefs about causes of poverty.

Interpersonal Comparisons of Utility in Bargaining: Evidence from a Transcontinental Ultimatum Game

This paper presents the experimental results of a “Transcontinental Ultimatum Game” implemented between India and France. The bargaining took the form of standard ultimatum games, but in one treatment Indian subjects made offers to French subjects and, in another treatment, French subjects made offers to Indian subjects. We observed that French→Indian bargaining mostly ended up with unequal splits of money in favour of French, while nearly equal splits were the most frequent outcome in Indian→French interactions. The experimental results are organized through a standard social reference model, modified for taking into account the different marginal value of money for bargainers. In our model bargaining is driven by relative standings comparisons between players, occurring in terms of real earnings (that is monetary earnings corrected for a purchasing power factor) obtained in the game. The norm of equity behind the equalization of real earnings is called local equity norm, and contrasted to a global equity norm which would encompass the wealth of players beyond the game. According to what we observed, no beyond-game concern seems to be relevantly endorsed by subjects.Interpersonal Comparisons of Utility; Fairness; Bargaining experiment; Ultimatum Game

Interpersonal comparisons of utility in bargaining: evidence from a transcontinental ultimatum game

This paper presents the experimental results of a “Transcontinental Ultimatum Game” implemented between India and France. We use a standard ultimatum game, but in one treatment Indian subjects made offers to French subjects (ItoF treatment) and, in another treatment, French subjects made offers to Indian subjects (FtoI treatment). We observed that FtoI treatment bargaining mostly ended up with unequal splits of money in favor of French, while nearly equal splits were the most frequent outcome in ItoF treatment interactions. The experimental results are organized through a standard social reference model, modified for taking into account the different marginal value of money for bargainers. In our model bargaining is driven by relative standings comparisons between players, occurring in terms of real earnings (that is monetary earnings corrected for a purchasing power factor) obtained in the game.

Interpersonal comparisons of utility in bargaining : Evidence from a transcontinental Ultimatum Game

Cet article présente les résultats expérimentaux d'un jeu de l'ultimatum "transcontinental" entre la France et l'Inde. Le jeu se présente comme un jeu de l'ultimatum classique mais, dans un traitement, les sujets indiens font des propositions aux sujets français et, dans un autre traitement, les sujets français proposent aux indiens. On observe que les négotiations France-> Inde ont tendance à produire des partages monétaires inégaux, en faveur des Français, alors que les négotiations Inde -> France ont tendance à produire des partages monétaires égaux.Le cadre conceptuel que nous introduisons pour expliquer ces phénomènes est un modèle standard de norme sociale de référence, modifié de manière à pouvoir tenir comte des différences d'utilitité marginale de la monnaie. Notre explication ne nécessite pas de considérer des normes culturelles différentes dans les deux pays. Elle repose simplement sur la prise en compte des pouvoirs d'achat différents de la monnaie dans les deux pays, pour les sommes effectivement en jeu dans l'interaction considérée. Nous appellons "équité locale" une telle norme, opposée à des normes "globales", qui ne négligeraient pas la richesse des joueurs en dehors du jeu. D'après nos observations, aucune considération relative au statut des participants en dehors du jeu ne semble pertinente.Comparaisons inter-personnelles d'utilité;Justice;Equité;Expérience de négociation;Jeu de l'ultimatum

The Defense of Socio-Educational Internment: Feature of the Hygienist Principles

La violencia juvenil y las intervenciones para enfrentarla son el enfoque de esta investigación científica. El objetivo del este estudio fue evaluar la existencia de aspectos del higienismo contenidos en las justificativas de las sentencias judiciales de los adolescentes que cumplen la internación socioeducativa. Analizamos 21 sentencias que determinan la internación y los respectivos materiales de apoyo que componen los procesos judiciales de adolescentes que ingresaron en el año de 2010 en el Centro de Socioeducação II de Cascavel en el Estado de Paraná. Concluimos con los resultados alcanzados que, actualmente, pese al Estatuto del Niño y del Adolescente, seguimos por determinación judicial, retirándoles de la situación de delincuencia y, pasados los plazos judiciales, devolviéndoles para el mismo contexto de donde fueron sacados. Salvaguardadas las diferencias de forma y tiempo, notamos en estos encaminamientos aspectos del ideario de la higiene mental y de la doctrina menorista.O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a existência de aspectos do higienismo nas justificativas das sentenças judiciais de adolescentes que cumprem a internação socioeducativa.
