Features: In this pioneering work, economists and scholars from other disciplines have employed standard economic analytical tools to study the formation and evolution of normative preferences. Each chapter of the book explores the bidirectional interaction between economic arrangements, or what are called institutions, and preferences, including social status, the well-being of others, and ethical norms. The authors of each chapter come from a wide range of fields, including game theory, economic history, institutional economics, experimental economics, political economy, sociology, and psychology.
