The groups, institutions and disciplines that we are part of also resist change. They often create barriers, sometimes inadverten…

Business Ethics

Despite the recent rash of corporate scandals and the resulting rush to address the problem by adding more laws and regulations, seemingly little attention has been paid to how the nature (not the substance) of rules may or may not affect ethical decision-making.

That is to say, there are economic methods—models and statistical tests—that are based on a set of assumptions about the way people behave and interact with one another. Moreover, there is a distinct set of “tools” or “principles” economists employ in their analyses
