Document Summary

Infanticide is the only sex specific crime in the criminal code. Legal traditionalists argue for more convictions of women, psychologists argue for less. Rational actor sociologists have some arguments in common with legal traditionalists. Both believe we should retain our focus on the rationality of the women in question; not product of capacities for reason, but specifically that when we think about the action, it is a rational action. Embrace women"s humanity is to embrace their rationality. To say that women don"t have rationality at some times whereas men always do is to degrade them. Women traditionally are seen as less rational and more emotional. See women as just as rational and therefore just as responsible as men. Legal traditionalists argue we should get rid of psychological aspects of infanticide mitigation; women should be seen as completely rational and responsible and punished accordingly. Infanticide mitigation feeds into stereotypes of women; legal traditionalists/some rational actor feminists.

List two specific predictions that derive from your hypothesis (1). Describe what data you would need to test one of them (2).

Microeconomics has traditionally been built on the foundation of rational choice. However, since the 70's insights from blending psychology and economics have been changing the landscape. Some have argued this new line of thinking, most often associated with behavioral economics, has laid waste to the micro model of choice.

To what extent does the rational choice model have a future? Can it absorb the new insights from behavioral? Do you think we will have two competing models of choice going forward?
