Efficiency, Welfare, and Altruism : Moral Assumptions in Economic Theory and Practice
No full textThis book focuses on two themes: how efficiency is treated in economic theory and how ethics is dealt with in economic practice. Carl-Henric Grenholm argues that economic theory might contribute to a needed revision of mainstream economic theory. Gert Helgesson analyses different efficiency concepts within mainstream economics. The main issue is how Pareto efficiency is related to values, norms, and ideology.Pareto efficiency and welfare is dealt with in another article by Gert Helgesson. The central problem here is whether the Pareto principle should be applied for practical purposes in the real world. Helgesson argues that it should not.Roland Granqvist deals with the problems related to the potential Pareto principle. His thesis is that some kinds of altruism should be included in cost-benefit analysis, e.g. concerns for other persons´health and safety. In another article, Roland Granqvist and Hans Lind discuss the "excess burden" of taxes. They argue that the general concept of excess burden has been operationalised in a questionable way. Finally, two articles deal with moral values and ethical convictions in economic practice.</p

Ethics, Economics, and Feminism

Responsibility for scientific misconduct in collaborative papers
No full textThis paper concerns the responsibility of co-authors in cases of scientific misconduct. Arguments in research integrity guidelines and in the bioethics literature concerning authorship responsibilities are discussed. It is argued that it is unreasonable to claim that for every case where a research paper is found to be fraudulent, each author is morally responsible for all aspects of that paper, or that one particular author has such a responsibility. It is further argued that it is more constructive to specify what task responsibilities come with different roles in a project and describe what kinds of situations or events call for some kind of action, and what the appropriate actions might be
