1/N Can ethical people gain power inside unethical organizations? In our new paper with @bahniks.bsky.social (and originally @mvranka.bsky.social, before he left our team), we study a difficult problem: prosocial will may not be enough when the dominant coalition benefits from harmful practices.

1/N After 5 years in the making, this paper is finally out. “How to React in the Case of Powerful Transgressors: Kill Them With Kindness or Punishment?” We study situations in which a superior acts unethically and what actually follows from punishing, forgiving, or avoiding them.

Are teachers objective and impartial when grading (business school) students? Our new (with @bahniks.bsky.social and Simon Senčar) mixed-methods paper examines “grade enhancement”: the practice of raising grades without corresponding improvements in performance. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mNHq38nsw...

In Smith's view, the market can be a "tool" in some sense. However, you can only use it if you carefully study the manual. 5/5

Smith adds that "in the great chess-board of human society, every single piece has a principle of motion of its own, altogether different from that which the legislature might choose to impress upon it." 3/5

Adam Smith saw the problem as early as 1759. He warned against the "man of system," who "seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chess-board;" 2/5

The issue is not so much whether the market is a "tool," it’s how much control we actually have over it. This echoes Thomas Sowell’s clash between the constrained vision (human nature is stable) and the unconstrained vision (human behavior is infinitely malleable). 1/5

However, they voted for cheaters more when the reward from cheating was divided among all group members. Even otherwise honest participants tended to vote for dishonest group members when they benefited from their cheating. 4/5

Participants voted for cheaters less when. the costs of cheating had a negative impact either on them or on a charity (representing social impact) than when cheating did not have an identifiable victim. 3/5

My modest contribution to the attempts to define externality is now published in Public Choice. I argue that the analysis of externalities should shift its focus from spillover effects to the mechanisms for allocating scarce resources among competing plans. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

"Na rozdíl od alternativních („postrůstových“) přístupů nevidí důvody, proč by bylo nutno tyto otázky zkoumat v souvislosti s ekonomickým růstem. Snaha řešit environmentální otázky a globální nerovnost omezením ekonomického růstu není účinné." 2/3

V novém článku v časopisu Vesmír s Pavlem Potužákem píšeme: "...ekonomie nepovažuje environmentální otázky a problém globální nerovnosti za méně důležité než problematiku ekonomického růstu. " 1/3
