Incentives and Economic Systems: Proceedings of the Eighth Arne Ryde Symposium, Frostavallen, 26-27 August 1985 in Bloomington, MN

First published in 1987,
Incentives and Economic Systems
is a selection of papers presented at the Eighth Arne Ryde Symposium at Frostavallen, Sweden on how institutions attempt to guide individual behaviour by manipulating the social and economic incentive system. These economic and social aspects of incentives determine ‘rational’ and ‘irrational’ behaviour by individuals and organizations across various economic systems. The essays in the volume deal with various aspects of the incentive problems and the various manifestations of such problems, along with moral and ethical issues. The essays will be an enlightening read for students of economics, policymaking and international politics.
