Intergenerational Democracy for Sustainable Resource Allocation
Abstract: I extend the intergenerational good game framework for understanding possible
intergenerational cooperation among overlapping generations. Designing online laboratory
experiments, I explore four different institution setups. 不同的 institutional
rules and voter composition from different generations lead individuals to conserve
resources, leaving enough to provide for the next generation. These questions are
two-folds: (1) whether a democratic decision-making system promotes sustainable resource
allocations over multiple generations (2) whether a representation of the future generations
in the group decision-making system promotes sustainable resource allocations. 不同的
age or generation groups have voting rights in the current issues. Young voters have
a stake in the future resource availability while they can participate in the legislation
in the current time. Therefore, understanding the impact of overlapping generations
on group decision-making outcomes is important for policy design.
