Rational choice theory' and moral behavior
A recent development in 'Rational Choice Theory' (RCT) is the emergence of a 'broad' version where emotions stemming from transgression and conformity of norms are interpreted as psychic costs and benefits respectively. Some rational choice theorists claim that a 'broad' standard version of RCT can account for all forms of moral behavior. By contrast, I argue that deontological moral behavior (i.e., based on categorical norms) cannot be explained…
The Rationality Principle
The Apparent Failure of “Situational Analysis” to Take Hold and an Attempt at Revitalizing It
“Situational Analysis” (SA) constitutes Popper’s methodological proposal for the social sciences. We argue that notwithstanding Popper’s claim that SA is an attempt to extend the methodology of neoclassical economics to the rest of the social sciences, the former is better interpreted as an extension of his view of the “method” of history to the “theoretical” social sciences. The reason is that, unlike neoclassical economics, Popper’s formulation…
Capital Accumulation, Technical Progress and Labour Supply Growth
This paper addresses the effects on employment and the price level of a range of factors including capital accumulation, technical progress and money wage changes by formalising the aggregate supply and demand framework posited by Keynes in his General Theory. We find that labour-augmenting technical progress reduces the equilibrium level of employment, thus lending support to Hansen's notion of technological unemployment. We also find that capit…
