Green technology adoption under uncertainty, increasing returns, and complex adaptive dynamics
International audience
Religious identity, trust, reciprocity, and prosociality
Bounded Rationality
Two leaders in the field explore the foundations of bounded rationality and its effects on choices by individuals, firms, and the government. Bounded rationality recognizes that human behavior departs from the perfect rationality assumed by neoclassical economics. In this book, Sanjit Dhami and Cass R. Sunstein explore the foundations of bounded rationality and consider the implications of this approach for public policy and law, in particular fo…
Psychological and social motivations in microfinance contracts
We study, theoretically and empirically, the effort choices of microfinance borrowers under individual liability (IL) and joint liability (JL) contracts when loan repayments are made either privately or publicly. Our theoretical model identifies guilt aversion in a JL contract and shame aversion under public repayment of loans as the main psychological drivers of effort choice. Evidence from our lab-in-the-field experiment in Pakistan reveals lar…
Identity and Redistribution
We propose a theoretical model that embeds social identity concerns, as in Akerlof and Kranton (2000), with inequity averse preferences, as in Fehr and Schmidt (1999). We conduct an artefactual ultimatum game experiment with registered members of British political parties, for whom political identity is salient and redistribution is also likely to be salient. The empirical results are as follows. (1) Proposers and responders demonstrate ingroup‐f…
Human Ethicality
The neoclassical model in economics envisages humans as amoral and self-regarding (Econs). This model, also known as the homo economicus model, is not consistent with the empirical evidence. In light of the evidence, the continued use of the homo economicus model is baffling. It also stymies progress in the field by putting the burden of adjustment on auxiliary assumptions that need to compensate for an unrealistic picture of human motivation and…

Article Gintis, Herbert. 2017. Individuality and Entanglement: The Moral and Material Bases of Social Life. was published on October 1, 2017 in the journal Evolutionary Studies in Imaginative Culture (volume 1, issue 2)
An extension of the Becker proposition to non-expected utility theory
A note on the Loewenstein–Prelec theory of intertemporal choice
Property Rights
This book looks at the significance and evolution of property rights. It explores the theme that rational individuals who compete for scarce resources need some rules to regulate and govern the resulting competition. Such rules can possibly include, violence, ‘might is right’, societal norms, or formal and informal property rights defined by some political institutions such as a government. The choice among the many diverse rules is a cost‐benefi…
