Replication Data for: The Economic Consequences of Partisanship in a Polarized Era

With growing affective polarization in the United States, partisanship is increasingly an impediment to cooperation in political settings. But does partisanship also affect behavior in non-political settings? We show evidence that it does, demonstrating its effect on economic outcomes across a range of experiments in real-world environments. A field experiment in an online labor market indicates that workers request systematically lower reservation wages when the employer shares their political stance, reflecting a preference to work for co-partisans. We conduct two field experiments with consumers, and find a preference for dealing with co-partisans, especially among those with strong partisan attachments. Finally, viaa population-based, incentivized survey experiment, we find that the influence of political considerations on economic choices extends also to weaker partisans. Whereas earlier studies show the political consequences of polarization in American politics, our findings suggest that partisanship spills over beyond the political, shaping cooperation in everyday economic behavior.在美国情感极化（affective polarization）愈演愈烈的背景下，党派认同（partisanship）正日益成为政治场景中跨群体协作的阻碍。但党派认同是否也会影响非政治场景中的行为？本研究给出了肯定答案，并通过一系列现实环境中的实验，证实了党派认同对经济结果的影响。一项在线劳动力市场的实地实验显示，当雇主与劳动者持有相同政治立场时，劳动者会系统性地提出更低的保留工资，这反映出劳动者更倾向于为同党派者工作。我们针对消费者开展了两项实地实验，结果发现消费者更倾向于与同党派者开展交易，这一偏好在党派认同较强的群体中尤为显著。最后，通过一项基于人群的激励式调查实验，我们发现政治考量对经济选择的影响，同样延伸至党派认同较弱的群体。尽管此前的研究仅揭示了美国政治极化的政治后果，但本研究的结果表明，党派认同会溢出至政治领域之外，塑造日常经济行为中的协作模式。
