讲座摘要 | ABSTRACT
Property rights constitute the core of market society and have attracted research attention from a wide spectrum of academic research, with property rights theory (PRT) at the forefront of research on this foundational concept. However, PRT lacks realism because it has not considered the differences caused by social identities. By integrating social identity theory with PRT, this study seeks to understand whether, why, and how social identities can influence property rights issues. We propose a notion of “identity costs”, defined as extra costs when the entrepreneur does not have the “right” identities, which increase non-market frictions for transactions. We identify three mechanisms—the mechanisms of identity-based social exclusion, identity congruence, and identity-based value capture—that can lead to identity costs. This study complements prior PRT research by enriching our understanding of social interdependencies that revolve around property rights.
