Consolidating behavioural economics and rational choice theory : insights from inequality research
Puzon, Klarizze Anne Martin; Gisselquist, Rachel M. - 2021
Using illustrations from research on inequality, this paper offers evidence on the strengths of 'behavioural synthesis', i.e. the reconciliation between neoclassical and behavioural economics. We compare how theoretical models of absolute and relative inequality have evolved from assumptions of...

Increasing Altruistic and Cooperative Behaviour with Simple Moral Nudges
Capraro, Valerio - 2019
The conflict between pro-self and pro-social behaviour is at the core of many key problems of our time, as, for example, the reduction of air pollution and the redistribution of scarce resources. For the well-being of our societies, it is thus crucial to find mechanisms to promote pro-social...

How mindless is standard economics really?
Schipper, Burkhard - 2009
Contrary to claims by Gul and Pesendorfer (2008), I show that standard economics makes use of non-choice evidence in a meaningful way. This is because standard economics solely grounded in the theory of choice is "incomplete". That is, it has content that can not be revealed with any general...
