An experimental investigation of social norms
(Discussion Papers;No. 310, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: Several economists have maintained that social and internalized norms can enforce cooperation in public good situations. This experimental study investigates impacts of social and internalized norms for cooperation ... -
Are there social limits to growth?
(Discussion Papers;No. 239, Working paper, 1998)Hirsch (1976) suggested that as consumption grows, an increasing proportion of the benefits people derive from consumption is due to a status effect. Status is a relative concept that cannot be increased on average; thus ... -
Axiomatization of stochastic models for choice under uncertainty
(Discussion Papers;No. 465, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: This paper develops a theory of probabilistic models for risky choices. Part of this theory can be viewed as an extension of the expected utility theory to account for bounded rationality. One probabilistic ... -
Choice among lotteries when preferences are stochastic
(Discussion Papers;No. 221, Working paper, 1998)Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of specifying probabilistic models for choices (strategies) with uncertain outcomes. The point of departure is an extension of the axiom system of the von Neumann-Morgenstern ... -
Choice under uncertainty and bounded rationality
(Discussion Papers;No. 409, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: This paper develops a theory for probabilistic models for risky choices that can be viewed as an extension of the expected utility theory to account for bounded rationality. One probabilistic version of the ... -
Consumer demand with unobservable product attributes - Part II: inference
(Discussion Papers;No. 167, Working paper, 1996)In this paper we discuss statistical inference associated with the theoretical model developed in Part I. Specifically, we demonstrate how the relationship between the distribution of prices and unit values can be exploited ... -
Consumer demand with unobservable product attributes : part I: theory
(Discussion Papers;No. 166, Working paper, 1996)This paper develops a new framework for empirical modelling of consumer demand with particular reference to products that are differentiated with respect to quality and location attributes. The point of departure is ... -
Does public policy crowd out private contributions to public goods?
(Discussion Papers;No. 300, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: It is sometimes claimed that individuals’ contributions to public goods are not motivated by economic costs and benefits alone, but that people also have a moral or norm-based motivation. A number of studies ... -
Networking strategy: Cooperate today in order to meet a cooperator tomorrow
(Discussion Papers;No. 282, Working paper, 2000)This paper explains why people might cooperate playing an infinitely recurring prisoners' dilemma in which they change their partner in every period. After two people have played the prisoners' dilemma there is a possibility ... -
On the value of households' recycling efforts
(Discussion Papers;No. 316, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: Do households' recycling efforts represent a social cost, which should be taken into account in cost-benefit analyses of alternative waste treatment systems? Some argue that it should not, since recycling efforts ... -
Revealing demand for nature experience using purchase data of equipment and lodging
(Discussion Papers;No. 305, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: In 1967, John Krutilla suggested a relationship between car camping, canoe cruising, and cross-country skiing and induced demand for wild, primitive, and wilderness-related opportunities. Here, the time trend ... -
Social Norms and Private Provision of Public Goods. Endogenous Peer Groups
(Discussion papers;257, Working paper, 1999-07)The formation of peer groups with social norms for private contributions to a public good is analyzed in an n-player two stage game. First people choose a peer group, then they choose whether to contribute. The first choice ... -
Some fundamental problems in Becker, Grossman and Murphy's implementation of rational addiction theory
(Discussion Papers;No. 375, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: The econometric implementation of rational addiction theory has been highly influenced by Becker, Grossman and Murphy (BGM). They specify an Euler equation where current consumption is determined by current price ... -
The Evolution of considerate smoking behavior
(Discussion Papers;No. 279, Working paper, 2000)This paper studies the formation of social norms for considerate smoking behavior. Being considerate gives smokers a higher social approval from non-smokers, but imposes an inconvenience cost. A non-smoker's disapproval ... -
The political man and contingent valuation : motives do count
(Discussion Papers;No. 180, Working paper, 1996)In addition to his role as a consumer pursuing his own interests, an individual may also regard himself as an ethical observer, judging matters from society's point of view. It is not clear which of these possibly conflicting ... -
The social contingency of wants implications for growth and the environment
(Discussion Papers;No. 227, Working paper, 1998)Economic models typically assume that individual wants are determined by forces exogenous to the economic system. Social psychology and consumer research, in contrast, support the view that the perceived benefits of ... -
Tout est au mieux dans ce meilleur des ménages possibles : The Pangloss critique of equivalence scales
(Discussion Papers;No. 296, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: A common approach to defining equivalence scales is to consider a household modelled as if it maximizes a single utility function. This may be founded on an assumption of the household maximizing a welfare ...
