About this book
How can economists define social preferences and interactions?
Culture, familial beliefs, religion, and otherĀ sources contain the origins of social preferences.Ā Those preferences--the desire for social status, for instance, orĀ the disinclination to receive financial support--often accompany predictableĀ economic outcomes.Ā Ā Through the use of new economic data and tools, our contributors survey an array of social interactions and decisions that typify homo economicus.Ā Ā TheirĀ work brings order to theĀ sometimes conflicting claims that countries, environments, beliefs, and other influences make on our economic decisions.
- Describes recent scholarship on social choice and introduces new evidence about social preferences
- Advances our understanding about quantifying social interactions and the effects of culture
- Summarizes research on theoretical and applied economic analyses of social preferences
