Experiments in Economics
- Share to:
In recent years economists have come to realise that social norms and norm-driven behaviour – such as notions of fairness, willingness to be generous towards strangers or cooperate with them, willingness to trust strangers and reciprocate others’ trust – play a crucial role in a variety of economic transactions and have implications for economic theories. There have been a lot of innovative and exciting findings in this area that have raised questions about the conclusions reached by traditional economic theories; findings, that I think, would be of interest to people outside the discipline.
So when Libby Passau of the Centre for Continuing Education at the University of Auckland approached me in January 2007 with the idea of delivering a set of five one-hour public lectures, I thought that it might be worthwhile sharing some of these findings – and my work in the area – with a general audience. These lectures are open to the community at large and are designed to expose members of the wider society to current research being carried out at the University. After some initial hesitation, I finally agreed to talk about how social norms play a role in economic transactions and some of the work I have done in this area.
