Identity Economics

George Akerlof and Rachel Kranton

The Economists' Voice, 2010, vol. 7, issue 2, 3

Abstract: Why have the relative rates of women smoking grown so much in the last 100 years? How can the U.S. military do so well with a relatively flat pay scale? Standard economics hasn't a clue, but according to Berkeley economist George Akerlof and Duke economist Rachel Kranton, the answers lie in a new field called identity economics.
