About the thesis
In the thesis, Enforcing Social Norms, David Jackson examines economic interactions between reputation and costly social punishments. One of his conclusions is that we should understand norms by analysing the collection of rules and prescribed behaviours.
The opponent at the defence was Ola Andersson from Uppsala University. In June, David Jackson will begin a two-year postdoc at Vrije University in Amsterdam.
