Morals and Markets: Individual Decision Making and Social Interaction
Course Number:
SOC60156
Course Description:
This course aims at highlighting how economic and moral decision
making intersect in various ways. The course will discuss experimental
studies from psychology and economics on the importance of morality for
economic decision making and how individual moral preferences are
aggregated in markets. Topics include intuition in moral judgments,
diffusion of responsibility, self-serving bias, crowding-out, diffusion of
responsibility, self-serving bias, replacement logic, pivotality, and others.
Finally, the concepts will be applied to topics like intermediaries and
conflicts of interests.
Students learn how to deal with terminology and literature relevant to
ethics and economics, as well as how to engage in independent,
argumentation-based discussion. They reproduce experimental findings
in class to allow for an experience-based, in-depth discussion of the
results.
