摘要：本文提供了新的证据，证明历史上的耕作方式与当前的合作行为规范之间存在联系。我们假设，湿地水稻种植所需的合作产生了强烈的合作文化规范。我们将来自以湿地水稻种植为主的地级市的参与者与来自非水稻地区的参与者进行了比较。有惩罚和无惩罚的公共物品博弈是衡量合作行为的主要方法。结果表明，湿地水稻种植对合作行为和亲社会惩罚有强烈而稳健的积极影响。来自自然田间试验和调查的互补、一致的证据进一步丰富了我们的数据。

Abstract:This paper provides novel evidence for links between historic farming practices and current norms of cooperative behaviour. We hypothesise that the cooperation required in wetland rice farming gives rise to strong cultural norms of cooperativeness. We compare participants from prefecture cities that predominately practice wetland rice cultivation to those from non-rice regions. A public goods game with and without punishment is the main measure for cooperative behaviour. Results indicate a strong and robust positive effect of wetland rice farming on cooperative behaviour and pro-social punishment. Complementary, consistent evidence from a natural field experiment and a survey further enriches our data.
