19Fitting the people they are meant to serve: Reasonable persons in the american legal system (review)Law and Philosophy 22 (1). 2003.What does the law demand when it requirescitizens to conform to standards ofreasonableness? I propose and defend theview that the law should demand thatcitizens conform their behavior to someactual conduct in society. I contrast thisidea against what might be called the``empty vessel'' view of reasonableness,where the standard is understood tofunction like an empty vessel in the law,allowing courts to use various norms andmoral judgments to determine what seemsreasonable in the circumstances.

8Prisoner’s Dilemmas, Cooperative Norms, and Codes of Business EthicsJournal of Business Ethics 65 (4). 2006.Prisoner's dilemmas can lead rational people to interact in ways that lead to persistent inefficiencies.

I will argue that we do not always want to eliminate misalignments between individual incentives and efficient outcomes. Sometimes we want to preserve prisoner's dilemmas, even when we know that they systematically will lead to…Read more

95CSR Rating Agencies: What is Their Global Impact?Journal of Business Ethics 94 (1): 69-88. 2010.In the last two decades, there has been a pronounced growth of CSR rating agencies that assess corporations based on their social and environmental performance. This article investigates the impact of CSR ratings on the behavior of individual corporations. To what extent do corporations adjust their behavior based on how they rank? Our primary finding is that being dropped from a CSR ranking appears to do little to encourage firms to acknowledge and address problems related to their social and e…Read more
