Monetary Intelligence: Love of Money, Risk-Taking, Unethical Behavior, and Happiness (Part I)

Friday, March 8, 2019 · Paris, France

Behavioral Economics

We explore how power influences decision-making. Holistic thinking may improve risk-taking perceptions and reduce risk-taking behaviors. Unethical subordinates ingratiate their supervisors to leverage supervisors’ favoritism. Non-avaricious city dwellers had higher stock happiness than country dwellers because volatility of the stock index had little impact on the former during financial crisis.
