The food dollar trap
This paper examines how participants from representative surveys in Germany and the United States (N = 2,685) prefer to redistribute a consumer food dollar across supply chain actors, including farmers, how willing they are to support and pay for redistribution, and which attitudes drive each of these preferences. We find widespread support for increasing farmers’ share of food expenditures, primarily driven by the belief that farmers lose from t…
When Goliath sells to David
External shocks (e.g., due to a pandemic) may lead to price jumps in the short term. Rather than being read as a signal of increased scarcity, the resulting “price gouging” is often ascribed to sellers’ selfish exploitation of the crisis. In our experimental study, we investigate the drivers of fairness perceptions regarding voluntary transactions in situations of increased scarcity and explore how they pertain to the economic policy debate on pr…
Promoting systems thinking through perspective taking when using an online modeling tool
Introduction Disagreements between people on different sides of popular issues in STEM are often rooted in differences in “mental models,” which include both rational and emotional cognitive associations about the issue; especially given these issues are systemic in nature. Methods In the research described here, we employ the fuzzy cognitive mapping software MentalModeler (developed by one of the authors) 1 as a tool for articulating implicit an…
Genetically Engineered Foods and Moral Absolutism
There is an ongoing debate about genetic engineering (GE) in food production. Supporters argue that it makes crops more resilient to stresses, such as drought or pests, and should be considered by researchers as a technology to address issues of global food security, whereas opponents put forward that GE crops serve only the economic interests of transnational agrifood-firms and have not yet delivered on their promises to address food shortage an…
People Prefer Moral Discretion to Algorithms
We explore aversion to the use of algorithms in moral decision-making. So far, this aversion has been explained mainly by the fear of opaque decisions that are potentially biased. Using incentivized experiments, we study which role the desire for human discretion in moral decision-making plays. This seems justified in light of evidence suggesting that people might not doubt the quality of algorithmic decisions, but still reject them. In our first…
The ethics of corporate hypocrisy
In the current landscape of management and business ethics scholarship, a prominent type of dissimulation is exemplified by corporate hypocrisy. The concept of corporate hypocrisy brings traditional morality to bear on the institutions of the modern society and thereby emphasizes the contested relationship between the research programs of individual and institutional ethics. Assuming that morality in the modern society resides in institutions rat…
Agrarian Vision, Industrial Vision, and Rent-Seeking
Many public debates about the societal significance and impact of agriculture are usefully framed by Paul Thompson’s distinction between the “agrarian” and the “industrial vision.” The key argument of the present paper is that the ongoing debate between these visions goes beyond academic philosophy and has direct effects on the political economy of agriculture by influencing the scope of rent-seeking activities that are undertaken primarily in th…
