Informal sanctions and bad social norms

这个项目的目的是提高对非正式制裁的理解，以迫使人们遵守社会规范。与大多数行为经济学研究不同，该项目考察了导致低效、不公正或残酷结果的规范，如荣誉杀人或教区暴力。本计划发展实验范例，在实验室研究“坏”规范。它将调查合作效率低下的情况；使用制裁来隔离群体；以及荣誉规范的出现及其含义。该项目旨在建立一个平台，可以导致有效的政策反对有害的社会规范。

This project aims to improve the understanding of informal sanctions to enforce compliance with social norms. Unlike most behavioural economics studies, this project examines norms leading to outcomes that are inefficient, unjust or cruel, such as honour-killings or parochial violence. This project develops experimental paradigms to study "bad" norms in the laboratory. It will investigate a setting in which co-operation is inefficient; the use of sanctions to segregate groups; and the emergence of honour norms and their implications. The project aspires to build a platform that can lead to effective policies against harmful social norms.
