使用的方法是統計。
01:13
This is not petty fraud.

不是小欺小騙。
01:16
These frauds cost
the shareholders of these companies,
the shareholders of these companies,
25

2856
這些詐欺會造成公司股東的損失，

We can all think of some examples, right?

2216
我們都能想出一些例子，對嗎？
01:27
The car industry's secrets
aren't quite so secret anymore.

29
75200
3800
汽車產業的秘密不再那麼秘密了。
01:31
Fraud has become a feature,
30
79800
3296
在金融服務業，
詐欺已經變成了一種特性，
01:35
not a bug,
31
83120
1216
而不是錯誤。
01:36
of the financial services industry.
32
84360
1936
01:38
That's not me who's claiming that,
33
86320
2216
並不是我自己在這麼說，
01:40
that's the president
of the American Finance Association

是美國財務學會的會長
01:43
who stated that
in his presidential address.

在他的會長演說當中說的。
01:46
That's a huge problem
if you think about, especially,
if you think about, especially,
36
94800
2736
如果你仔細想想，
這是個很大的問題，
這是個很大的問題，
特別是在像瑞士這樣的經濟體中，
01:49
an economy like Switzerland,
37
97560
1696
01:51
which relies so much on the trust
put into its financial industry.

38
99280

瑞士非常仰賴人們對其
金融業投入的信任。
金融業投入的信任。
01:56
On the other hand,
39
104960
1216
另一方面，
01:58
there are six out of seven companies
who actually remain honest

40
106200

七間中的六間事實上維持著誠信，

despite all temptations

2336
他告了奧林巴斯的密。
02:10
These whistle-blowers risk their careers,

這些告密者賭上他們的職涯

每年，
02:26
around 100 journalists get killed

So in my talk today,
53
140040
1256
在今天這場演說，
02:33
I want to share with you
some insights I've obtained and learned

141320
3496
我想和各位分享的是我過去十年間
02:36
in the last 10 years
of conducting research in this.

在研究這個主題時
所學到的一些洞見。

02:40
I'm a researcher,

我是個研究者、科學家，

02:47
lawyers and others
59
155120
1336
02:48
trying to understand
what makes humans tick,
what makes humans tick,
60
156480
2096
我嘗試要了解是什麼在驅使人類，
02:50
and how can we address this issue
of fraud in corporations

61
158600
4776
以及我們如何處理
企業內的詐欺議題，
企業內的詐欺議題，
02:55
and therefore contribute
to the improvement of the world.
to the improvement of the world.
62
163400
3160
因而對改善世界貢獻一份心力。
02:59
I want to start by sharing with you
two very distinct visions
two very distinct visions
63
167280
3536
一開始，我想分享兩個
非常不同的看法，
非常不同的看法，
03:02
of how people behave.
64
170840
1816
對於人的行為的看法。
03:04
First, meet Adam Smith,
65
172680
1840
首先，來見見亞當史密斯，
03:07
founding father of modern economics.
66
175200
1960
現代經濟學之父。
03:10
His basic idea was that if everybody
behaves in their own self-interests,
behaves in their own self-interests,
67
178280
4296
他的基本想法是：
如果每個人都依自身利益而行，
如果每個人都依自身利益而行，
03:14
that's good for everybody in the end.
68
182600
2520
最終，那對每個人而言都是好的。
03:18
Self-interest isn't
a narrowly defined concept
a narrowly defined concept
69
186080
3056
自身利益不是一個
定義很狹隘的觀念，
定義很狹隘的觀念，
03:21
just for your immediate utility.
70
189160
1936
不是只為了立即的功利。
03:23
It has a long-run implication.
71
191120
1936
它有著長期的意涵。
03:25
Let's think about that.
72
193080
1480
我們來想想這一點。
03:27
Think about this dog here.
73
195080
2016
想想圖上的這隻狗。
03:29
That might be us.
74
197120
1200
牠可能就是我們。
03:31
There's this temptation --
75
199440
1256
圖上有著誘惑──
03:32
I apologize to all vegetarians, but --
76
200720
2376
我要向所有的素食者道歉，但──
03:35
(Laughter)
77
203120
1016
（笑聲）
03:36
Dogs do like the bratwurst.
78
204160
1696
狗確實喜歡臘腸。
03:37
(Laughter)
79
205880
2376
（笑聲）
03:40
Now, the straight-up,
self-interested move here
self-interested move here
80
208280
3096
這裡最直接、最以
自身利益為主的做法，
自身利益為主的做法，
03:43
is to go for that.
81
211400
1576
就是去取得臘腸。
03:45
So my friend Adam here might jump up,
82
213000
2936
所以我的朋友亞當，可能會跳上去，
03:47
get the sausage and thereby ruin
all this beautiful tableware.
all this beautiful tableware.
83
215960
3360
取得臘腸，因而把
所有的美麗餐具都給毀了。
所有的美麗餐具都給毀了。
03:52
But that's not what Adam Smith meant.
84
220000
1816
但那並不是亞當史密斯的意思。
03:53
He didn't mean
disregard all consequences --
disregard all consequences --
85
221840
2656
他並不是說要不顧一切的後果──
03:56
to the contrary.
86
224520
1216
其實相反。
03:57
He would have thought,
87
225760
1256
他會想，
03:59
well, there may be negative consequences,
88
227040
2016
也許會有負面的後果，
04:01
for example,
89
229080
1216
比如，
04:02
the owner might be angry with the dog
90
230320
3096
主人可能會對狗發怒，
04:05
and the dog, anticipating that,
might not behave in this way.
might not behave in this way.
91
233440
3600
而狗能預期到這一點，
就不會做出這個行為。
就不會做出這個行為。
04:09
That might be us,
92
237840
1256
那可能就是我們，
04:11
weighing the benefits
and costs of our actions.
and costs of our actions.
93
239120
3056
權衡我們每個行動的利益和成本。
04:14
How does that play out?
94
242200
1240
那會產生什麼結果？
04:15
Well, many of you, I'm sure,
95
243960
1976
我相信，在座許多人，
04:17
have in your companies,
96
245960
1536
在你們的公司裡，
04:19
especially if it's a large company,
97
247520
1816
特別是大公司裡，
04:21
a code of conduct.
98
249360
1656
會有「行為準則」。
04:23
And then if you behave
according to that code of conduct,
according to that code of conduct,
99
251040
3416
如果你根據行為準則來做事，
04:26
that improves your chances
of getting a bonus payment.
of getting a bonus payment.
100
254480
3176
就能讓你比較有機會得到獎金。
04:29
And on the other hand,
if you disregard it,
if you disregard it,
101
257680
2135
另一方面，如果你漠視它，
04:31
then there are higher chances
of not getting your bonus
of not getting your bonus
102
259839
2737
就比較有可能得不到獎金，
04:34
or its being diminished.
103
262600
1536
或是獎金會縮水。
04:36
In other words,
104
264160
1256
換言之，
04:37
this is a very economic motivation
105
265440
1816
這是個非常經濟的動機，
04:39
of trying to get people to be more honest,
106
267280
2776
試圖讓人們更誠實，
04:42
or more aligned with
the corporation's principles.
the corporation's principles.
107
270080
3360
或是更符合公司的原則。
04:46
Similarly, reputation is a very
powerful economic force, right?
powerful economic force, right?
108
274240
5256
同樣地，名聲也是種非常
強大的經濟力量，對吧？
強大的經濟力量，對吧？
04:51
We try to build a reputation,
109
279520
1536
我們試圖建立名聲，
04:53
maybe for being honest,
110
281080
1416
也許是誠實的名聲，
04:54
because then people
trust us more in the future.
trust us more in the future.
111
282520
2400
因為這樣做，人們將來會更信任我們。
04:57
Right?
112
285960
1216
對嗎？
04:59
Adam Smith talked about the baker
113
287200
2096
亞當史密斯談到一個麵包師傅，
05:01
who's not producing good bread
out of his benevolence
out of his benevolence
114
289320
3776
他為那些消費者製作好的麵包，
05:05
for those people who consume the bread,
115
293120
3016
並不是出於善心，
05:08
but because he wants to sell
more future bread.
more future bread.
116
296160
3040
而是因為他想要在未來
能賣出更多麵包。
能賣出更多麵包。
05:12
In my research, we find, for example,
117
300160
2216
在我的研究中，我們發現，比如，
05:14
at the University of Zurich,
118
302400
1376
在蘇黎世大學，
05:15
that Swiss banks
who get caught up in media,
who get caught up in media,
119
303800
4200
瑞士銀行被捲入媒體當中，
05:20
and in the context, for example,
120
308720
1776
例如在逃稅或稅務詐欺的情況下，
05:22
of tax evasion, of tax fraud,
121
310520
1536
05:24
have bad media coverage.
122
312080
1736
有很糟的媒體報導。
05:25
They lose net new money in the future
123
313840
2736
他們就會在未來失去淨新增資金，
05:28
and therefore make lower profits.
124
316600
1616
因此賺的利潤就會減少。
05:30
That's a very powerful reputational force.
125
318240
2360
那是非常強大的名聲力量。
05:34
Benefits and costs.
126
322200
1600
利益和成本。
05:37
Here's another viewpoint of the world.
127
325120
2576
世界上有另一種觀點。
05:39
Meet Immanuel Kant,
128
327720
1536
來見見伊曼努爾康德，
05:41
18th-century German philosopher superstar.
129
329280
2760
十八世紀的明星德國哲學家。
05:44
He developed this notion
130
332920
1616
他發展出了這個概念：
05:46
that independent of the consequences,
131
334560
3136
和結果無關，
05:49
some actions are just right
132
337720
2976
有些行為就是對的，
05:52
and some are just wrong.
133
340720
1696
有些就是錯的。
05:54
It's just wrong to lie, for example.
134
342440
3216
比如，說謊就是錯的。
05:57
So, meet my friend Immanuel here.
135
345680
3136
所以，來見見我的朋友伊曼努爾。
06:00
He knows that the sausage is very tasty,
136
348840
2816
牠知道香腸非常可口，
06:03
but he's going to turn away
because he's a good dog.
because he's a good dog.
137
351680
2456
但牠打算調頭走開，
因為牠是條好狗。
因為牠是條好狗。
06:06
He knows it's wrong to jump up
138
354160
2696
牠知道跳上去是錯的，
06:08
and risk ruining
all this beautiful tableware.
all this beautiful tableware.
139
356880
2800
有可能會打破所有這些漂亮的餐具。
06:12
If you believe that people
are motivated like that,
are motivated like that,
140
360520
2416
如果你相信人們會被
這樣的動機驅使，
這樣的動機驅使，
06:14
then all the stuff about incentives,
141
362960
2176
那麼所有關於獎勵的一切，
06:17
all the stuff about code of conduct
and bonus systems and so on,
and bonus systems and so on,
142
365160
3776
那麼所有關於行為準則、
獎金制度等等的一切，
獎金制度等等的一切，
06:20
doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
143
368960
2176
就不是很有道理了。
06:23
People are motivated
by different values perhaps.
by different values perhaps.
144
371160
4176
人們被不同的價值觀驅使，也許吧。
06:27
So, what are people actually motivated by?
145
375360
3376
所以人們的動機到底是什麼？
06:30
These two gentlemen here
have perfect hairdos,
have perfect hairdos,
146
378760
2176
這裡的兩位先生有著完美的髮型，
06:32
but they give us
very different views of the world.
very different views of the world.
147
380960
4480
但他們給我們非常不同的世界觀。
06:37
What do we do with this?
148
385840
1256
對此，我們該怎麼辦？
06:39
Well, I'm an economist
149
387120
1656
嗯，我是經濟學家，
06:40
and we conduct so-called experiments
to address this issue.
to address this issue.
150
388800
4176
而我們會進行所謂的實驗，
來處理這個議題。
來處理這個議題。
06:45
We strip away facts
which are confusing in reality.
which are confusing in reality.
151
393000
3296
我們會剝除在現實中讓我們困惑的事實，
06:48
Reality is so rich,
there is so much going on,
there is so much going on,
152
396320
2736
現實非常的豐富，
有太多事情在發生，
有太多事情在發生，
06:51
it's almost impossible to know
what drives people's behavior really.
what drives people's behavior really.
153
399080
3960
幾乎不可能知道
什麼真正驅動人類的行為。
什麼真正驅動人類的行為。
06:55
So let's do a little experiment together.
154
403520
2720
所以，讓我們一起來做個小實驗。
06:58
Imagine the following situation.
155
406680
2600
想像下面的情境。
07:02
You're in a room alone,
156
410400
2416
你單獨在一間房間中，
07:04
not like here.
157
412840
1536
不像這裡這麼多人。
07:06
There's a five-franc coin
like the one I'm holding up right now
like the one I'm holding up right now
158
414400
3440
有一個五法郎硬幣，
就像我手上的這個，
就像我手上的這個，
07:10
in front of you.
159
418560
1576
硬幣就在你面前。
07:12
Here are your instructions:
160
420160
1576
你得到的指示是：
07:13
toss the coin four times,
161
421760
2480
擲硬幣四次，
07:17
and then on a computer
terminal in front of you,
terminal in front of you,
162
425800
2416
接著，在你面前的電腦終端機上，
07:20
enter the number of times tails came up.
163
428240
3656
輸入硬幣出現反面的次數。
07:23
This is the situation.
164
431920
1280
情境就是這樣。
07:25
Here's the rub.
165
433720
1216
難處在這裏：
07:26
For every time that you announce
that you had a tails throw,
that you had a tails throw,
166
434960
3376
每次你宣佈你擲出了反面，
07:30
you get paid five francs.
167
438360
1496
你就會得到五法郎。
07:31
So if you say I had two tails throws,
168
439880
2536
所以如果你說我擲出兩次反面，
07:34
you get paid 10 francs.
169
442440
2216
你就會得十法郎。
07:36
If you say you had zero,
you get paid zero francs.
you get paid zero francs.
170
444680
2936
如果你說你沒擲出反面，
你就會得到零法郎。
你就會得到零法郎。
07:39
If you say, "I had four tails throws,"
171
447640
2456
如果你說：「我擲出四次反面」，
07:42
then you get paid 20 francs.
172
450120
2016
你就會得到二十法郎。
07:44
It's anonymous,
173
452160
1256
這是匿名的，
07:45
nobody's watching what you're doing,
174
453440
1896
沒有人在看你做，
07:47
and you get paid that money anonymously.
175
455360
2336
付錢給你時也是匿名的。
07:49
I've got two questions for you.
176
457720
1477
我要問各位兩個問題。
07:51
(Laughter)
177
459760
1616
（笑聲）
07:53
You know what's coming now, right?
178
461400
1640
你們知道接下來是什麼吧？
07:56
First, how would you behave
in that situation?
in that situation?
179
464000
3480
第一，在這個情境，你會怎麼做？
08:00
The second, look to your left
and look to your right --
and look to your right --
180
468240
2936
第二，看看你的左邊，
看看你的右邊──
看看你的右邊──
08:03
(Laughter)
181
471200
1016
（笑聲）
08:04
and think about how
the person sitting next to you
the person sitting next to you
182
472240
2376
想想坐在你旁邊的人
在這情境可能會怎麼做。
08:06
might behave in that situation.
183
474640
1656
08:08
We did this experiment for real.
184
476320
2136
我們真做了這個實驗。
08:10
We did it at the Manifesta art exhibition
185
478480
2696
我們是在最近蘇黎世這裡舉行的
08:13
that took place here in Zurich recently,
186
481200
2456
Manifesta 藝術展覽上做的，
08:15
not with students in the lab
at the university
at the university
187
483680
2856
不是在大學實驗室裡對學生做的，
08:18
but with the real population,
188
486560
1776
對象是真正的一般大眾，
08:20
like you guys.
189
488360
1200
就像在座各位。
08:22
First, a quick reminder of stats.
190
490080
2136
首先，快速提醒大家一下統計數字，
08:24
If I throw the coin four times
and it's a fair coin,
and it's a fair coin,
191
492240
3576
如果你擲硬幣四次，
且它是個公平的硬幣，
且它是個公平的硬幣，
08:27
then the probability
that it comes up four times tails
that it comes up four times tails
192
495840
4096
四次都是反面的機率
08:31
is 6.25 percent.
193
499960
2400
是 6.25%。
08:35
And I hope you can intuitively see
194
503080
1656
希望你們用直覺就能看出，
08:36
that the probability that all four
of them are tails is much lower
of them are tails is much lower
195
504760
3376
四次都是反面的機率
遠低於兩次是反面的機率，對吧？
08:40
than if two of them are tails, right?
196
508160
2120
08:42
Here are the specific numbers.
197
510760
1440
這裡是明確的數據。
08:46
Here's what happened.
198
514039
1496
而結果如下。
08:47
People did this experiment for real.
199
515559
2201
人們真的做了這個實驗。
08:50
Around 30 to 35 percent of people said,
200
518799
3336
大約 30%~35% 的人說：
08:54
"Well, I had four tails throws."
201
522159
2401
「嗯，我擲出四次反面。」
08:57
That's extremely unlikely.
202
525640
1816
那是極度不可能的。
08:59
(Laughter)
203
527480
1936
（笑聲）
09:01
But the really amazing thing here,
204
529440
3136
但，真正驚人的是，
也許對經濟學家而言，驚人的是：
09:04
perhaps to an economist,
205
532600
1296
09:05
is there are around 65 percent of people
who did not say I had four tails throws,
who did not say I had four tails throws,
206
533920
6536
大約 65% 的人
沒說他們擲出四次反面，
沒說他們擲出四次反面，
09:12
even though in that situation,
207
540480
2176
即使在那個情境中，
09:14
nobody's watching you,
208
542680
2096
沒有人在看你，
09:16
the only consequence that's in place
209
544800
1936
唯一會發生的後果是：
09:18
is you get more money
if you say four than less.
if you say four than less.
210
546760
3336
假如你說四次而不是少於四次，
得的錢就會比較多；
得的錢就會比較多；
09:22
You leave 20 francs on the table
by announcing zero.
by announcing zero.
211
550120
3280
如果你宣稱零次，就放棄了二十法郎。
09:26
I don't know whether
the other people all were honest
the other people all were honest
212
554040
2576
我不知道其他人是否都誠實，
09:28
or whether they also said a little bit
higher or lower than what they did
higher or lower than what they did
213
556640
3456
或是他們會把數字向上或向下調整，
09:32
because it's anonymous.
214
560120
1216
因為這是匿名的。
09:33
We only observed the distribution.
215
561360
1656
我們只是觀察數據分佈。
09:35
But what I can tell you --
and here's another coin toss.
and here's another coin toss.
216
563040
2656
但我可以告訴各位──
這是另一次擲硬幣結果。
這是另一次擲硬幣結果。
09:37
There you go, it's tails.
217
565720
1496
來了，是反面。
09:39
(Laughter)
218
567240
1496
（笑聲）
09:40
Don't check, OK?
219
568760
1456
別來確認，好嗎？
09:42
(Laughter)
220
570240
2816
（笑聲）
09:45
What I can tell you
221
573080
1296
我能告訴你們的是，
09:46
is that not everybody behaved
like Adam Smith would have predicted.
like Adam Smith would have predicted.
222
574400
4440
並非每個人的行為
都如亞當史密斯所預測。
都如亞當史密斯所預測。
09:52
So what does that leave us with?
223
580840
1576
所以這告訴我們什麼？
09:54
Well, it seems people are motivated
by certain intrinsic values
by certain intrinsic values
224
582440
4496
嗯，似乎人們會被某種
內在的價值觀所驅使，
內在的價值觀所驅使，
09:58
and in our research, we look at this.
225
586960
1800
在研究中，我們調查了這點。
10:01
We look at the idea that people have
so-called protected values.
so-called protected values.
226
589440
4480
我們探討了人會有所謂的
「被保護的價值觀」的這個想法。
「被保護的價值觀」的這個想法。
10:06
A protected value isn't just any value.
227
594760
2816
被保護的價值觀並非任何價值觀。
10:09
A protected value is a value
where you're willing to pay a price
where you're willing to pay a price
228
597600
5816
被保護的價值觀是
你願意付出一個代價
你願意付出一個代價
10:15
to uphold that value.
229
603440
1256
來維持的價值。
10:16
You're willing to pay a price
to withstand the temptation to give in.
to withstand the temptation to give in.
230
604720
4440
你願意付出一個代價來
對抗要你屈服的誘惑。
對抗要你屈服的誘惑。
10:22
And the consequence is you feel better
231
610200
2656
而結果就是，如果你賺到錢的方式
10:24
if you earn money in a way
that's consistent with your values.
that's consistent with your values.
232
612880
4296
和你的價值觀是一致的，
你的感覺會比較好。
你的感覺會比較好。
10:29
Let me show you this again
in the metaphor of our beloved dog here.
in the metaphor of our beloved dog here.
233
617200
4280
讓我再次用我們都愛的
狗狗比喻來說明。
狗狗比喻來說明。
10:34
If we succeed in getting the sausage
without violating our values,
without violating our values,
234
622600
4056
如果我們不違反價值觀
而成功地取得香腸，
而成功地取得香腸，
10:38
then the sausage tastes better.
235
626680
1976
那麼香腸嚐起來的味道比較好。
10:40
That's what our research shows.
236
628680
1480
那就是我們的研究發現。
10:42
If, on the other hand,
237
630720
1256
另一方面，
10:44
we do so --
238
632000
1256
若我們這樣做──
10:45
if we get the sausage
239
633280
1416
如果我們取得香腸，
10:46
and in doing so
we actually violate values,
we actually violate values,
240
634720
3456
用的是違反價值觀的方式，
10:50
we value the sausage less.
241
638200
2976
我們也會比較不珍視這香腸。
10:53
Quantitatively, that's quite powerful.
242
641200
2456
就量化而言，相當強而有力。
10:55
We can measure these protected values,
243
643680
2456
我們能夠測量這些被保護的價值觀，
10:58
for example,
244
646160
1216
比如，
10:59
by a survey measure.
245
647400
1920
可以用問卷調查來測量。
11:02
Simple, nine-item survey that's quite
predictive in these experiments.
predictive in these experiments.
246
650360
5976
簡單的九題問卷調查
是非常容易預測結果的實驗。
11:08
If you think about the average
of the population
of the population
247
656360
2336
如果考量人數平均值，
11:10
and then there's
a distribution around it --
a distribution around it --
248
658720
2096
平均值的周邊會呈現一種分佈──
11:12
people are different,
we all are different.
we all are different.
249
660840
2040
人各不相同，我們都不一樣。
11:15
People who have a set of protected values
250
663480
2976
持有著一組保護價值觀
11:18
that's one standard deviation
above the average,
above the average,
251
666480
4176
比平均值高出一個標準差的那些人，
11:22
they discount money they receive
by lying by about 25 percent.
by lying by about 25 percent.
252
670680
5056
透過說謊得到的金錢價值
大約會被他們打個 75 折。
大約會被他們打個 75 折。
11:27
That means a dollar received when lying
253
675760
3616
也就是說，說謊得到的一塊錢，
11:31
is worth to them only 75 cents
254
679400
2136
和誠實得到的一塊錢相比，
11:33
without any incentives you put in place
for them to behave honestly.
for them to behave honestly.
255
681560
3696
只值 75 分錢而已。
11:37
It's their intrinsic motivation.
256
685280
1736
那是他們的內在動機。
11:39
By the way, I'm not a moral authority.
257
687040
1856
順便一提，我並非道德權威。
11:40
I'm not saying I have
all these beautiful values, right?
all these beautiful values, right?
258
688920
2920
我並不是說我有所有這些
美好的價值觀。
美好的價值觀。
11:44
But I'm interested in how people behave
259
692440
1936
但我感興趣的是人的行為，
11:46
and how we can leverage
that richness in human nature
that richness in human nature
260
694400
3376
以及如何讓人類本性中的
豐富特性能夠發揮功效，
豐富特性能夠發揮功效，
11:49
to actually improve
the workings of our organizations.
the workings of our organizations.
261
697800
3440
來實際改善在組織內的工作。
11:54
So there are two
very, very different visions here.
very, very different visions here.
262
702400
3176
所以，這裡有兩種非常不同的觀點。
11:57
On the one hand,
263
705600
1336
一方面，
11:58
you can appeal to benefits and costs
264
706960
3016
你可以訴諸利益和成本，
12:02
and try to get people
to behave according to them.
to behave according to them.
265
710000
2656
嘗試讓人們依利益和成本而行。
12:04
On the other hand,
266
712680
1616
另一方面，
12:06
you can select people who have the values
267
714320
4016
當然你可以篩選具有價值觀
12:10
and the desirable
characteristics, of course --
characteristics, of course --
268
718360
2216
和具有你所想要之特質的人──
12:12
competencies that go
in line with your organization.
in line with your organization.
269
720600
3576
能夠配合你的組織。
12:16
I do not yet know where
these protected values really come from.
these protected values really come from.
270
724200
4216
我還不知道
這些受保護的價值觀來自何處。
12:20
Is it nurture or is it nature?
271
728440
3376
是後天養成還是天性？
12:23
What I can tell you
272
731840
1376
但我能告訴各位，
12:25
is that the distribution
looks pretty similar for men and women.
looks pretty similar for men and women.
273
733240
5096
男性和女性的分佈很類似。
12:30
It looks pretty similar
for those who had studied economics
for those who had studied economics
274
738360
3776
學經濟的人和學心理學的人，
12:34
or those who had studied psychology.
275
742160
2360
他們的分佈看起來很相似。
12:38
It looks even pretty similar
around different age categories
around different age categories
276
746000
3376
不同年齡層的成人
他們的分佈還更相似。
他們的分佈還更相似。
12:41
among adults.
277
749400
1216
12:42
But I don't know yet
how this develops over a lifetime.
how this develops over a lifetime.
278
750640
2656
但我還不知道一輩子的進展會怎樣。
12:45
That will be the subject
of future research.
of future research.
279
753320
3440
那將會是未來的研究主題。
12:49
The idea I want to leave you with
280
757640
1656
我想留給各位的想法是，
12:51
is it's all right to appeal to incentives.
281
759320
2776
被獎勵所吸引是沒關係的。
12:54
I'm an economist;
282
762120
1216
我是經濟學家；
12:55
I certainly believe in the fact
that incentives work.
that incentives work.
283
763360
2920
我肯定相信獎勵是有效的。
12:59
But do think about selecting
the right people
the right people
284
767400
4016
但你一定要考慮篩選對的人，
13:03
rather than having people
and then putting incentives in place.
and then putting incentives in place.
285
771440
3496
而不只是先把人招來，再提供獎勵。
13:06

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Alexander Wagner - EconomistAlexander Wagner balances two passions: the thrill of seeking knowledge about fundamentals of human behavior for knowledge's sake, and the desire to apply insights in the real world and to improve the workings of markets and organizations.
Why you should listen
Alexander Wagner has discovered that to most people, what matters is not only how much money they receive but also whether they behaved honestly to receive that money. As Swiss Finance Institute professor at the University of Zurich's Department of Banking and Finance, Wagner has taught corporate finance to thousands of eager students and hundreds of motivated executives, and he has helped shape governance systems of companies large and small. His recent research deals with how investors perceive managerial words and deeds … and with the stock market implications of the Trump election.
