This paper proposes a novel measure of civic norm compliance. We combine the literature on norm compliance from institutional economics and social philosophy. Institutional economics draws on survey data to measure civic norms, whereas social philosophy offers a theoretical framework that proves fruitful when used to operationalize civic norms. This paper shows that significantly different results emerge when the operationalization of civic norms in institutional economics draws on the theoretical framework that social philosophy offers. Furthermore, this study is relevant for social philosophy too, as it shows the potential of survey data as a test-bed for philosophical theories of norm compliance.

本文提出了一种衡量公民规范遵守情况的新方法。我们结合了制度经济学和社会哲学中关于规范遵从的文献。制度经济学利用调查数据来衡量公民规范，而社会哲学提供了一个理论框架，当用于实施公民规范时证明是富有成效的。本文表明，当制度经济学中公民规范的操作化借鉴社会哲学提供的理论框架时，会出现显着不同的结果。此外，这项研究也与社会哲学有关，因为它显示了调查数据作为规范合规哲学理论试验台的潜力。
