How can We Increase Pro-Social Behavior? An Experiment with Referees at the Journal of Public Economics Raj Chetty, Harvard
Emmanuel Saez, UC Berkeley
Laszlo Sandor, Harvard


February 2014<br>
02
Introduction Specific question: how can we improve the speed/quality of peer review?


Broader question: what policies best motivate pro-social behavior?

Economic incentives (e.g., corrective subsidies)

Could have negative effects by crowding out intrinsic motivation

Social incentives (e.g., public recognition)

Effective in situations where economic incentives are not?


Considerable lab evidence on these questions; much less field evidence<br>
03
Field Experiment: Referee Behavior Peer review is a canonical example of pro-social behavior

Small private reward from submitting a high-quality report quickly

Potentially large gains to author and society


Experiment analyzing impacts of economic and social incentives on peer review process

3,000 referee invitations for the Journal of Public Economics

Run for 20 months from Feb. 15, 2010 to Oct. 26, 2011<br>
