We examine peer effects in welfare use among immigrants to Sweden by exploiting a governmental refugee placement policy. We distinguish between the quantity of contacts - the number of individuals of the same ethnicity - and the quality of contacts - welfare use among members of the ethnic...

"A highly reasonable, lightly fun introduction to thinking like an economist. When economists wrestle with issues such as unemployment, inflation, or pandemics, they do so in an impersonal, detached way: what's the most low-cost way to maximize good and minimize bad? These trade-offs constitute...

I draw on contemporary debates in political philosophy to understand the limits and hazards of using mechanism design to offer technical solutions to problems in which technical and social issues are intertwined. Using Boston's experience with K-12 school choice reform over the last half century...

To address the impact of regulation on ethical concerns of consumers, we study the example of minimum wages. In our experimental market, consumers have monopsony power, firms set prices and wages, and workers are passive recipients of a wage payment. We find that the majority of consumers...

In the context of modern day, issues of social solidarity and wealth redistribution become matters of great concern to the world due to lack of moral conducts within human society in which lead to injustice to happen. Thus co-operation of individuals and their society towards achieving peace and...

When individual preferences can express relative intensities, the scope for social decision mechanisms is enlarged. We show that ethical welfare operations then arise in a uniform, constitutional manner, in both finite and infinite contexts.We focus on quaternary preferences as representatives...

The question of corporate social responsibility has been heatedly debated for a very long time. Perhaps the most prominent modern commentator on this subject was Professor Milton Friedman, who held that business had no business trying to solve social problems; it had neither the knowhow nor...

This article develops two hypotheses about economically-relevant values of Christian believers, according to which Protestants should work more and more effectively, as in the “work ethic” argument of Max Weber, or display a stronger “social ethic” that would lead them to monitor each...

"Britain's coalition government of 2010-2015 ushered in an enduring age of austerity and a "moral mission" of welfare reform as part of a drive for deficit reduction.

The regulation of many activities depends on whether societies consider them morally controversial or "repugnant". Not only have regulation and related ethical concerns changed over time, but there is also heterogeneity across countries at a given time. We provide evidence of this heterogeneity...
