Abstract

Bihevioralna ekonomija je znanstvena disciplina koja se bavi kognitivnim procesima te nastoji odgovoriti na pitanje na koji način heuristike, osjećaji i društvene norme utječu na donošenje (ekonomskih) odluka. Jedan od društvenih fenomena kojim se bavi bihevioralna ekonomija je pitanje poštenja te jedan od načina na koji se testiraju osobne pretpostavke poštenosti je putem tzv. „igre ultimatuma“ gdje osoba A predlaže podjelu određene količine resursa, dok osoba B može tu podjelu prihvatiti ili ne te tzv. „igre diktatora“ u kojoj osoba A predlaže podjelu koju osoba B ne može odbiti. S druge strane, u svojoj knjizi Burić i Štulhofer (2020) pozivajući se na raniji rad Josipa Županova definiraju egalitarni sindrom kao sklop društvenih vrijednosti (poput anti-intelektualizma, anti-profesionalizma, anti-poduzetništva te nesklonosti inovacijama) koje se temelje na pretpostavkama radikalnog egalitarizma. U ovom diplomskom radu cilj je bio utvrditi koji bi nam bihevioralno-ekonomski uvidi mogli pomoći u istraživanju egalitarnog sindroma te je provedeno kratko eksplorativno istraživanje koje se temelji na kombinaciji ankete i online kvazi eksperimenta uz pomoć programa LIONESS Lab (Giamattei et al., 2020).

Abstract (english)

Behavioural economics is a scientific discipline that deals with cognitive processes and tries to answer the question of how heuristics, feelings, and social norms influence (economic) decision-making. One of the social phenomena that behavioural economics deals with is the issue of fairness. One of the ways in which personal assumptions of fairness are tested is through the so-called "ultimatum games" where person A proposes to share a certain amount of resources, while person B can accept that sharing or not, and the so-called "dictator games" in which person A proposes a division that person B cannot refuse. On the other hand, in their book Burić and Štulhofer (2020), referring to the earlier work of Josip Županov, define the egalitarian syndrome as a set of social values (such as anti-intellectualism, anti-professionalism, anti-entrepreneurship and aversion to innovation) that are based on the assumptions of radical egalitarianism. This thesis aims to determine which behavioural-economic insights can help us research the egalitarian syndrome. A short exploratory research based on a combination of a survey and an online quasi-experiment was also conducted with the help of the LIONESS Lab program (Giamattei et al., 2020).
