APM Marketplace interview with Dan Ariely
1. Can you think of any other examples of an item which can be viewed differently in either a "social norm" or an "economic norm" context?
2. To what degree do you believe that social norms act as an incentive for companies to reign in pollution? Please comment on the competing incentives that may already pressure a company's desire to regulate pollution emissions.
3. To what degree do you agree with Ariely's prediction that a likely watered down cap and trade regime is likely to encourage rather than discourage pollution because of defining pollution as an economic norm with little consequence?
