Social norms and Economic Incentives in firms
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2012Co-Authors: Steffen Huck, Dorothea Kübler, Jörgen W. WeibullAbstract:This paper studies the interplay between Economic Incentives and social norms in firms. We introduce a general framework to model social norms arguing that norms stem from agents’ desire for, or peer pressure towards, social efficiency. In a simple model of team\ud production we examine the interplay of three types of contracts with social norms. We show that one and the same norm can be output-increasing, neutral, or output-decreasing depending on the contract. Multiplicity of equilibria and crowding out effects of steeper\ud Incentives can arise

Social Norms and Economic Incentives in Firms
2010Co-Authors: Steffen Huck, Dorothea Kübler, Jörgen W. WeibullAbstract:This paper studies the interplay between Economic Incentives and social norms in firms. We introduce a general framework to model social norms arguing that norms stem from agents’ desire for, or peer pressure towards, social efficiency. In a simple model of team production we examine the interplay of different types of contracts with social norms. We show that one and the same norm can be output-increasing, neutral, or output-decreasing depending on the incentive scheme. We also show how social norms can induce multiplicity of equilibria and how steeper Economic Incentives can reduce effort.

social norms and Economic Incentives in the welfare state
1997Co-Authors: Assar Lindbeck, Sten Nyberg, Jörgen W. WeibullAbstract:This paper analyzes the interplay between social norms and Economic Incentives in the context of work decisions in the modern welfare state. We assume that to live off one's own work is a social norm, and that the larger the population fraction adhering to this norm, the more intensely it is felt by the individual. Individuals face two choices, one Economic, whether to work or live off public transfers, and one political, how large the transfer should be. The model highlights certain factors determining the size of the welfare state.

Economic Incentives and nutritional behavior of children in the school setting a systematic review
Nutrition Reviews, 2011Co-Authors: Jorgen Dejgard Jensen, Helene Hartmann, Albertine J. Schuit, Johannes BrugAbstract:The aim of the present review was to examine the existing literature on the effectiveness of Economic Incentives for producing sound nutritional behavior in schools. Studies published in the English-language literature that included baseline and/or outcome data regarding food and beverage intake of schoolchildren were eligible for inclusion. A systematic search of the literature was conducted to identify relevant primary studies and relevant systematic reviews of primary studies. Altogether, 3,472 research publications were identified in the systematic search, of which 50 papers were retrieved. Of these, 30 publications representing 28 studies fulfilled the criteria for inclusion. The studies addressing price Incentives suggest that such Incentives are effective for altering consumption in the school setting. Other types of Economic Incentives have been included in combined intervention schemes, but the inclusion of other intervention elements makes it difficult to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of the Economic incentive instruments per se in these studies.

promoting recycling private values social norms and Economic Incentives
The American Economic Review, 2011Co-Authors: Kip W Viscusi, Joel Huber, Jason BellAbstract:Individual behaviors that benefit the environment are potentially influenced by personal values of environmental quality, social norms that encourage proenvironmental actions, and Economic Incentives. Economic Incentives often loom particularly large, including those that result from environmental policies. Less well understood are the respective roles of private values and social norms. Do people undertake proenvironmental actions more out of their per sonal valuations of the environment that might be characterized as warm glow effects or from the social norms that reinforce proenvironmental behaviors? The least explored component of these deter minants of proenvironmental behavior is that of social norms. We characterize social norms in terms of what is normatively appropriate rather than what is the conventional mode of behavior. There is a burgeoning Economics literature modeling social norms, but not a commensurate empirical investigation of their practical impor tance. If norms do matter, what is the respective role of personal norms that a person imposes on others compared with the external norms that people perceive are imposed on them by others? To what extent are these social norms the result of legal regimes and regulatory policies that establish standards for behavior? Our empirical analysis estimates the role of these influences. The empirical case study for this article is based on an analysis of recycling of plastic water bottles. Recycling policies are becoming

promoting recycling private values social norms and Economic Incentives
2010Co-Authors: Kip W Viscusi, Joel Huber, Jason BellAbstract:Evidence from a nationally representative sample of households illuminates the determinants of recycling behavior for plastic water bottles. Private values of the environment are influential in promoting recycling, as are personal norms for pro-environmental behavior. However, social norms with respect to the assessment of the household’s recycling behaviors by others have little independent effect. Particularly influential are policies that create Economic Incentives to promote recycling either through state recycling laws that reduce the time and inconvenience costs of recycling or through bottle deposits. Effective policies can have a discontinuous effect at the individual level, transforming non-recyclers into avid recyclers.
