Inhalte: Advances in Behavioral Ethics What leads people to break rules without being aware of it? Is having a „good“ character good enough to promote ethical behavior? What leads us to believe we will behave ethically and then behave differently when acting? When are people more likely to rely on their „gut feelings“ than on deliberate reasoning when making moral judgments? Which social and situational settings do encourage unethical behavior? How can we „nudge“ ethical behavior? What is the role of honesty and deception in financial markets? Does the market recognize commitment to honesty in the face of economic incentives for misrepresentation, and does honesty ultimately pay? Which psychological and economic factors help to improve tax compliance? Behavioral ethics, a new experimental research field deals with such questions, making use of insights from several disciplines (e.g. moral, social and cognitive psychology, neuroscience, economics and finance, ethics). In this summer school, Ph.D students will get an overview about recent developments in this emerging field.
