Full Description

This in-depth Research Handbook integrates insights from different disciplines to analyse the mechanisms underlying unethical behavior, presenting a compelling picture of unethical behavior as a complex, context-dependent phenomenon. Alessandro Bucciol and Simone Quercia bring together leading researchers from economics, psychology and neuroscience to explore unethical behavior's uniquely multifaceted nature.

Chapters cover demographic and social determinants, cognitive and neurobiological factors, highlighting how subtle contextual cues and incentives can lead to ethical blind spots. Adopting a behavioral economics approach, the contributing authors use experiments to rigorously test conjectures and hypotheses. Their findings advocate for promising developments for policy design, norm-based interventions and educational strategies that promote ethical conduct across age groups, genders and institutional settings.


The Research Handbook on Unethical Behavior is a vital resource for students, academics and researchers in economics, psychology, sociology and social policy, as well as policymakers looking to learn the mechanisms behind unethical behavior and are interested in adopting solutions.
