Extensive field and experimental evidence in a variety of environments show that behavior depends on a reference point. This paper provides an axiomatic characterization of this dependence. We proceed by imposing gradually more structure on both choice correspondences and preference relations,...

This paper outlines the origins of the utility function in terms of evolution and sexual selection. Altruistic behaviour between non-kin is found to be a result of a stable tit-for-tat solution to the prisoners' dilemma, combined with reputation effects, and an evolutionary drive to promote...

Die ökonomische Theorie hat mit Moral wenig oder gar nichts zu tun. In den gängigen Lehrbüchern der Mikroökonomie findet sich in den Stichwortverzeichnissen kein Eintrag zu Moral oder Ethik. Die Studierenden lernen über die Wirtschaft nachzudenken, aber sie lernen dabei nicht, systematisch...
