Financial incentives in motivating socially desirable behaviours: when are they effective and when are they right?

On September 13th, 2013, the Behavioural Science Centre <http://www.stir.ac.uk/management/research/behavioural-science-centre/> at Stirling Management School will host a one-day conference on the theme: monetary incentives to promote socially desirable behaviours.

Two questions that the conference will address are:

1. What factors make monetary incentives effective in promoting socially desirable behaviours, and what factors compromise their efficacy?

2. Paying people to engage in socially desirable behaviours might have implications for ethics and the formation of norms. What do we know about these issues?

We are pleased that Peter Ubel (Duke) and George Loewenstein (Carnegie Mellon) will be keynote speakers at the workshop.

Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for presentation at the event. The Behavioural Science Centre is interdisciplinary and we welcome submissions from any researcher who feels that they have something to contribute to this conversation.

Applicants should submit an abstract of not more than 400 words to david.comerford@stir.ac.uk

Deadline: July 31st
