The main insight of this paper is that moral behavior does not necessarily alleviate coordination problems or may even … worsen them, if individuals possess different degrees of morality. We characterize heterogenous Alger-Weibull morality … for individuals with below (above) average morality. Equilibrium public good provision is not increased by morality, as …

study arrives at a formal theoretical general equilibrium parameterization of morality. Suppose all socioeconomic agents are … boundedly rational and seek to act rationally. Under the stated condition, rationality consists in `moral actions' and Morality … has, explicitly parameterization as, Altruism. If there exist behavioral frictions within a society, only those frictions …

This paper conducts a systematic comparison of behavioral economics’s challenges to the standard accounts of economic behaviors within three dimensions: under risk, over time and regarding other people. A new perspective on two underlying methodological issues, i.e., interdisciplinarity and...

The study tries to recognize the behaviour of the consumer with respect to the opportunity cost and marginal benefit associated with the commodity. The research tries to evaluate the factors and identify behavioural traits of consumers if they exist in decision making. The study also tries to...

How do human beings make decisions when, as the evidence indicates, the assumptions of the Bayesian rationality approach in economics do not hold? Do human beings optimize, or can they? Several decades of research have shown that people possess a toolkit of heuristics to make decisions under...

The influence of behavioral biases on aggregate outcomes like prices and allocations depends in part on self-selection: whether rational people opt more strongly into aggregate interactions than biased individuals. We conduct a series of betting market, auction and committee experiments using 15...
