Workshop

Perspectives on the Theory of We-Thinking

Organized by
Econometica (Centro interuniversitario per l’etica economica e la responsabilità sociale d’impresa)
LaSER (Laboratory for Social Responsibility, Ethics and Rational Choice)
University of Trento, Department of Economics
Pergina Valsugana, Trento, Italy, 23-24 September 2008

Presentation

The workshop is in honour of Michael Bacharach, a brilliant and innovative economist whose research still plays a relevant role in the field of the behavioural game theory.
It focuses on the notion of we-thinking developed by Bacharach. In particular, it aims at discussing on works where the theory of we-thinking has been developed and applied.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^

Call for papers

The following topics will be covered:

1) theoretical aspects:
• connection between we-thinking assumptions and cognitive models of reasoning and their application to game theory.
• the contribution of we-thinking theory to the development of models of human behaviour based on motivational complexity.
• relation between we-thinking and ethics.

2) experimental and applied aspects:
• the contribution of we-thinking to the analysis of non-purely selfish behaviour in experiments.
• study of cooperation within firms through team-thinking assumptions
• application to applied ethics: contribution of we-thinking to the explanation of the role of shared principles in multi- stakeholder governance processes.
