A Comment on “What Is Wrong with the West’s Economies?” by Edmund Phelps
Homo Oeconomicus - Tập 33 - Trang 37-41 - 2016
Professor Phelps has written a plea for social, technological, and economic innovation as the key to human flourishing. I cannot see how the middle class drab life could be alleviated by innovation. This paper criticises his views and argues that people need what I call openings (opportunities) that channel their natural activities in the right way.
Some Impossibility Results on the Converse Consistency Principle in Bargaining
Homo Oeconomicus - Tập 37 - Trang 59-65 - 2020
We investigate the existence of solutions satisfying converse consistency together with other well-known axioms in the context of bargaining. Our results are negative. First, we show that there is no solution satisfying converse consistency together with Pareto optimality and contraction independence. Second, we show that there is no solution satisfying converse consistency together with Pareto op......
Local Perceptions and Vertical Perspectives of a Large Scale Land Acquisition Project in Northern Sierra Leone
Homo Oeconomicus - Tập 33 - Trang 261-279 - 2016
Despite increased scientific interest in the phenomenon of large-scale land acquisitions (LSLA), accurate data on implementation processes remain sparse. This paper aims at filling this gap by providing empirical in-depth knowledge on the case of the Swiss-based Addax Bioenergy Ltd. in Sierra Leone. Extensive fieldwork allowed the interdisciplinary research team (1) the identification of different......
Land Grabbing and Ethnic Conflict
Homo Oeconomicus - Tập 33 - Trang 243-260 - 2016
We study the effect of large-scale land acquisitions on the risk of ethnic tensions for a sample of 133 countries for the 2000–2012 period. Running a series of fractional response models, we find that more land grabbing activity is associated with a higher risk of ethnic tensions, indicating that the negative effects of land deals outweigh their potential benefits. In addition to that, we also sho......

Anti-Western Conspiracy Thinking in China and Russia: Empirical Evidence and its Link to Expectations of Collusion
Homo Oeconomicus - Tập 36 - Trang 135-163 - 2019
We report some preliminary evidence on the spread of anti-Western conspiracy thinking in Russia and China as well as on whether it correlates with decisions made in nonpolitical settings. We conduct a survey of students at two universities in Moscow and Beijing, as well as an implement experimental game in which participants make costly decisions as to whether they expect (pairs of) other particip......
An Albertian View of Buchanan’s Contractarianism
Homo Oeconomicus - Tập 39 - Trang 69-82 - 2022
This paper in honor of Hans Albert ‘@100’ seeks to show how adhering to critical rationalist ‘economic philosophy’ avoids contradictions in James Buchanan’s contractarianism: restricting constitutional economic advice to what serves the ends of all potential addressees simultaneously Buchanan not only blurs the borderline between value-neutral economic philosophy and substantive moral philosophy b......
The Democracy of the Future: Do Voters Want It?
Homo Oeconomicus - Tập 35 - Trang 133-141 - 2018
Frey (Homo Oeconomicus 34(1):1–9, 2017) makes several proposals to reform and extend democracy. In this contribution, we first consider the desirability of these proposals from the point of view of a rational self-interested individual. We then conduct a questionnaire to quantify the actual support among voters. It turns out that many proposals lack support in both cases. We conclude that in makin......
