Fairness and Retaliation: The Economics of Reciprocity
Ernst Fehr,Simon Gächter +1 more

TL;DR: Privatization of biomedical research must be more carefully deployed to sustain both upstream research and downstream product development, because more intellectual property rights may lead paradoxically to fewer useful products for improving human health.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss two major empirical findings that begin to show how individuals achieve results that are better than rational by building conditions where reciprocity, reputation, and trust can help to overcome the strong temptations of short-run self-interest.

Journal ArticleDOI

The Problem of Social Cost
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the suggested courses of action are inappropriate, in that they lead to results which are not necessarily, or even usually, desirable, and therefore, it is recommended to exclude the factory from residential districts (and presumably from other areas in which the emission of smoke would have harmful effects on others).
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic Analysis of Law
TL;DR: The use of economic analysis in the book as mentioned in this paper is hardly casual or undemanding in the sense that it requires the efforts of a committee, and the committee would need economists as well as legal scholars from diverse interests among its membership.
