Tiivistelmä: | The realism of the assumption that individuals are motivated purely by self-interest has frequently been called in question but determining to what extent individuals are motivated by a broader collective concern is a difficult exercise. This article considers a technique that estimates the importance of self-interest by using the significance of income as an explanatory variable in an analysis of responses to questionnaire surveys. |
