Тема:
"Why people ban others’ actions: A norm conformism hypothesis"
Анонс:
Some people want to ban other people’s actions even when there are no obvious externalities. We argue that bans can arise endogenously as a consequence of social norm conformity: instead of adjusting one’s own behavior, another way to conform one’s behavior is to change the behavior of others. Assuming that a majority can ban the actions of others, the model makes testable predictions about which actions will be banned, as well as about the stable social norm. Moreover, we show that, with sufficiently strong norm conformism, bans are incommensurable in the sense that there is no majority willing to abandon the bans and tax the minority’s actions instead.
