Course/Module description:
One of the main topics of study at the "Charming lab" is advice taking in decision making. We investigate how individuals use the opinions of others to form their choices. We focus on the conditions under which individuals benefit from advice, their trust. Recently we have begun to study the ethics of advice giving under conflict of interest. The main issues arising in this context include altruism, empathy, and the motives underlying social preferences (e.g., social comparison, envy, inequality aversion).
