摘要
一些经济学理论认为理性的人可能在一定情形下因偏好风险而参加博彩,而一些心理学实验研究则发现博彩者可能存在系统性的心理偏误。对理论的分析发现,彩票对穷人更具有吸引力且博彩者存在非理性心理。国内实证文献也支持这两个结论。如果博彩行为是非理性行为,那么博彩业就有利用人们非理性幼稚心理牟利的嫌疑。政府宣称发行彩票的目的是筹集资金用于社会公益事业,这就形成了一个悖论,即从贫穷群体那里筹集资金来改善他们的处境。
Some economic theories think that rational people may try lottery driven by risky philosophy under some circumstances. But some philosophical experiment has found that lottery player may have systematic cognitive bias. This paper reviews the theory and evidence about lottery buying and finds that the poor are more likely to try lottery than the rich and they are irrational. Domestic empirical literature supports the two conclusions. If lottery activity is irrational, there is the suspicion that the lottery industry is making use of people＇s irrational philosophy. It is a for government to sell lottery, that is collecting capitals from the poor to improve their difficulty.
