Most non-economists would question whether economists know anything about culture. Indeed, given some faculty meetings I’ve been through, I imagine they might go so far as to say economists are uncultured. Although the second sentiment probably does go too far, there is certainly merit to the first. In particular, with a few exceptions (notably Kreps, 1990; Crémer, 1993; Lazear, 1995; Hodgson, ...

In two studies the role of biomedical knowledge in the diagnosis of clinical cases was explored. Experiment 1 demonstrated a decrease in the use of biomedical knowledge with increasing expertise.

In Experiment 2, three pos...

He has had free choice of subject, by tradition the tide is not disclosed beforehand, and no Questions are asked afterwards. All this gives him considerable advantage, I have therefore chosen a subject which I think is of interest to many People, that of the pict...

Various traditions within developmental science and psychology have concentrated on either personal or collective correlates as manifestations of well-being. Our claim is that the well-being of any one person is highly dependent on the well-being of her relationships and on the community in which she resides ~Nelson & Prilleltensky, 2005; Prilleltensky, Nelson, & Peirson, 2001!. Well-being may ...

Drawing on individual data from the World Values Surveys, this paper estimates the relation between individual feelings about competition and self‐reported happiness. People who think competition is good are associated to the same (high) level of happiness as do people who think competition is harmful.
