Call for papers
For over 200 hundred years economics has never consider children as economic
agents, as it has always focused on the world and activities of adults (possibly young,
western, and with a disposition to play lotteries).
Things are now changing, both because markets and firms are more and more
interested in children behavior and consider them as important consumers but also
because studying children behavior helps in understanding the development process
behind the establishment of certain patterns of individual and interactive choice.
Comparing adults' and children behavior may shed light on the works of factors
important for economic behavior such as equity concerns, attribution of intentions,br />
frames, formation of norms, reciprocity, trust and so on).
A more fundamental question, investigated especially in experimental psychological,
refers to the very possibility to investigate children economic behavior using the same paradigm developed for adults. Differences in choices and outcome should be
interpreted as violations of the standard view of rationality or as instances of a different
model of rationality?
The conference “The economic child” has the ambition of gathering scientists from all
over the world and from different disciplines with the intent of producing a first
synthesis of experimental and theoretical works on this subject.
