UC Berkeley study finds unethical behavior motivated by positive attitudes to greed

Posted: 27 Feb 2012 10:38 PM PST

The upper class has a higher propensity for unethical behavior, being more likely to believe – as did Gordon Gekko in the movie "Wall Street" – that "greed is good," according to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley. (abstract here)"The increased unethical tendencies of upper-class individuals are driven, in part, by their more favorable attitudes toward greed,"...

Posted: 27 Feb 2012 05:36 PM PST

In this paper, the market extension of set-valued risk measures for models with proportional transaction costs is linked with set-valued risk minimization problems.
