719Institutional Trust: A Less Demanding Form of Trust?Revista Latinoamericana de Estudios Avanzados 15 19-58. 2001.With increasing complexity of the networks of social interaction new and more abstract forms of trust are in need. A conceptual analysis of different forms of trust, namely interpersonal trust, trust in groups and institutional trust is given. It is argued that institutional trust cannot totally replace interpersonal trust. Institutional trust rather builds on more personal forms of trust in that it is primarily formed in personal encounters with salient representatives of the institution and pr…Read more

372Team Reasoning as a Guide to CoordinationMunich Discussion Paper No 2014-8. 2014.A particular problem of traditional Rational Choice Theory is that it cannot explain equilibrium selection in simple coordination games. In this paper we analyze and discuss the solution concept for common coordination problems as incorporated in the theory of Team Reasoning (TR). Special consideration is given to TR’s concept of opportunistic choice and to the resulting restrictions in using private information. We report results from a laboratory experiment in which teams were given a chance t…Read more

3Praktisch-ethische Entscheidungen unter Unsicherheit und UngewissheitIn Ralf Stoecker, Christian Neuheuser & Marie Luise Raters (eds.), Handbuch Angewandte Ethik, J.b. Metzler. pp. 198-113. 2011.Wenn UnsicherheitUnsicherheit, Ungewissheit hinsichtlich der möglichen Folgen einer Handlung besteht und Folgen, die in irgendeiner Weise als negativ beurteilt werden können, möglich sind, spricht man von einem (Handlungs-)RisikoRisikoDefinition. Risiken stellen uns vor ethische Probleme der angemessenen Urteilsbildung. Nach plausiblen ethischen Anforderungen an die Urteilsbildung müssen wir auf der Basis der empirischen Evidenz, die uns zugänglich ist, bestmöglich urteilen.

19Der Begriff des Vertrauensmentis. 2002.Auf der Basis einer Klärung des Begriffs des Vertrauens zu klären werden mit dem Vertrauen verbundenen sozialen Probleme analysiert. Es wird argumentiert, dass Vertrauen emotionalen Charakter trägt, dass es eine gemeinsame normative Basis und eine teilnehmende Haltung der sozialen Akteure zueinander voraussetzt. Die Argumentation entwickelt sich ausgehend von einer entscheidungstheoretischen Analyse typischer Situationen, die Vertrauen erfordern, aber in kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit einer P…Read more

Trust and Strategic RationalityRationality and Society 7 (4): 442-464. 1995.The extent to which trust prevails can be measured by the subjective probability with which an agent expects another one to act in desired ways. An agent´s trust in other agents forms in repeated social interactions which typically have the structure of an elementary game of trust. The process of trust formation in such interactions may be described by a reputation function. It is argued that in view of real world processes of trust formation any adequate reputation function must satisfy certain…Read more

18Ist Vertrauen eine rationale Erwartung?In Julian Nida-Rümelin (ed.), Rationalität, Realismus, Revision. Vorträge des 3. internationalen Kongresses der Gesellschaft für analytische Philosophie vom 15. bis zum 18. September 1997 in München., De Gruyter. pp. 308-316. 2000.Within the rational choice approach trust is usually analysed as a problem of choice under uncertainty. In a standard social situation in which trust plays a role a trustor A has to choose between trusting or mistrusting a trustee B. If he chooses to trust, B can either honour the trust given which will be of some advantage to both or exploit it no matter what the consequences for A are. A can in general protect himself against being exploited by choosing not to trust. But then he forgoes the po…Read more

Rational Choice and Rule-Following BehaviorRationality and Society 19 (4): 425-450. 2007.While Rational Choice Theory (RC) may be understood as a theory of choice, which does not necessarily reflect actual deliberative processes, rule-following behavior is definitely based on a certain form of delibera- tion. This article aims at clarifying the relationship between the two. Being guided by instrumental rules, i.e., rules reducible to the maximiza- tion principle, is perfectly consistent with the fundamental behavioral assumptions of RC. But human individuals use other forms of rules…Read more

293Hypothetical JustificationsRMM 67-82. 2009.A basic conviction in moral non-cognitivism is: only hypothetical norms may be justified. Hartmut Kliemt argues for a moderate variant: there are only hypothetical justifications of norms whether the norms are hypothetical or categorical in kind. In this paper the con- cept of ‘hypothetical justification’ is analyzed. It is argued that hypothetical justifications are not of the kind that we should look for in normative ethics.

Trust, Reputation, and Exit in Exchange RelationshipsJournal of Conflict Resolution 39 (3): 495-510. 1995.Unlike the supergame model assumes agents in exchange situations will normally not be perfectly informed on past behaviour of their partners. Also, they will be able to choose their partners to a certain extend. A formal model is presented that attempts to take account of these facts. It is supposed that for any actor the probability of finding a partner for a lucrative exchange depends on his past behaviour. A model of reputation formation is presented as a formal description of this interdepe…Read more

602Challenging the Majority Rule in Matters of TruthErasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics 7 (2): 54-72. 2014.The majority rule has caught much attention in recent debate about the aggregation of judgments. But its role in finding the truth is limited. A majority of expert judgments is not necessarily authoritative, even if all experts are equally competent, if they make their judgments independently of each other, and if all the judgments are based on the same source of (good) evidence. In this paper I demonstrate this limitation by presenting a simple counterexample and a related general result. I pav…Read more
