| Abstract: | A variety of empirical evidence suggests that economics students are less cooperative than are students in other disciplines. Yezer, A.M. and his colleagues have recently provided a strong counter-example claiming that economics students behave in a more honest manner than do noneconomics students. Since honesty and cooperation are not the same quality, there might be no contradiction between these two claims. This paper suggests that economic students seem to represent a special pattern of moral behavior that is characterized by respect for property rights and strong self-interest motivation simultaneously. |
