Social Preferences and Context Sensitivity
This paper is a partial review of the literature on ‘social preferences’. There are empirical findings that convincingly demonstrate the existence of social preferences, but there are also studies that indicate their fragility. So how robust are social preferences, and how exactly are they context dependent? One of the most promising insights from the literature, in my view, is an equilibrium e...
متن کاملTrue Context-dependent Preferences? The Causes of Market-dependent Valuations
A central assumption of neoclassical economics is that reservation prices for familiar products express people’s true preferences for these products; that is, they represent the total benefit that a good confers to the consumers and are, thus, independent of actual prices in the market. Nevertheless, a vast amount of research has shown that valuations can be sensitive to other salient prices, p...
متن کاملSocial norms and identity dependent preferences
The introduction of social identity into an economic framework provides a new way in which norms can affect preferences. We present experimental results that test the impact of norms on social identity dependent choice. We use a 2 (identity prime) × 2 (choice or norms) experimental design to separately and directly elicit empirical measures of identity dependent norms for eleven different redis...
متن کاملHow many species of giraffe are there?
In a recent paper in Current Biology, Fennessy and colleagues [1] conclude that there are four species of giraffe and that their numbers are declining in Africa. Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) are presently classified as one species, with nine subspecies, which are considered 'Vulnerable' on the IUCN Red List [2]. The present consensus of one species divided into nine subspecies has previous...
متن کاملDifferentiate or Imitate? The Role of Context-Dependent Preferences
Conventional wisdom, derived from standard economic theory, is that a rm should di¤erentiate itself from its rivals to mitigate intense price competition. Yet there are many examples of rms positioning themselves to mimic their rivals. In this paper we examine the role of contextdependent preferences in explaining this phenomenon. Behavioral researchers have long argued that consumers conside...
