Brown Bag Seminar | A theory of the origin of injunctive norms with Pau Juan Bartroli (ENTER)
The seminar speaker is Pau Juan Bartroli, Toulouse School of Economics (ENTER), presenting "A theory of the origin of injunctive norms".
Abstract
Recent studies have shown the explanatory power of injunctive norms to explain individuals' behavior. This work has been restricted to empirical applications where injunctive norms have been elicited with the task introduced in Krupka and Weber (2013). I introduce a theory of injunctive norms to compute the social appropriateness of each strategy available to the decision maker, and therefore to rank strategies in terms of social appropriateness. I consider a large variety of applications to show that the predicted injunctive norms are similar to those elicited in previous studies, and that the theory is able to rationalize individuals’ behavior observed in a large set of experimental situations. Additionally, the theory gives a potential explanation for how individuals form injunctive norms.
Pau Juan Bartroli, is a PHd student at Toulouse School of Economics and an ENTER exchange student. Pau Juan is interested generally in Behavioral Economics and Experimental Economics and more specifically in Social Norms.
This seminar takes place at Stockholm School of Economics, Sveavägen 65, in room 348.
