摘要：We report an experiment on a multi-player allocation game. One player, the allocator, divides a sum of money between three large groups of 20 individuals each, and him- or herself. The groups consist of supporters of the two main political movements in Thailand, the yellow and the red shirts, and a third group of politically unattached individuals. The allocator is a randomly drawn member of one of the groups. This setting allows us to distinguish between in-group favouritism (allocating more to the own group than to neutrals) and out-group discrimination (allocating less to the opposing group than to neutrals). We also run a control treatment with artificially labeled groups. We find evidence for both favouritism and discrimination, which is stronger in natural than in artificial groups. In contrast to the political claims of the movements, differences between yellow and red supporters cannot be detected.演讲者简介：Klaus Abbink，澳大利亚Monash大学经济学教授，德国波恩大学经济学博士（师从诺贝尔经济学奖得主Reinhard Selten），曾执教于英国Nottingham大学、East Anglia大学、荷兰Amsterdam大学等著名高校。其研究领域包括实验经济学、行为经济学、应用博弈论、发展经济学等，论文曾发表在American Economic Review, Games and Economic Behavior, Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization, Economic Inquiry等国际一流学术期刊。
