Homo Economicus Swinging Back – The Ceasing Free-Rider Problem

Homo Economicus Swinging Back – The Ceasing Free-Rider Problem

Traditional economic models assume that people are self-interested in the narrow sense. If “homo economicus” – the stereotypical rational actor in these models – finds a wallet on the sidewalk, he keeps the cash inside.
