Abstract

Die experimentelle Wirtschaftsforschung kann eingesetzt werden, um kausale Einflussfaktoren von Verhalten unter kontrollierten Rahmenbedingungen zu identifizieren. Insbesondere ermoeglicht sie Einsichten ueber Verhaltenstendenzen in moralischen Dilemmata wie z. B. Situationen, in denen Korruption moeglich ist. Anhand des Beispiels der Korruptionsforschung beleuchtet der Beitrag, wie experimentelle Studien zur Verbesserung des Verstaendnisses von moralischen Intuitionen und zur Gestaltung von Rahmenbedingungen fuer ethisches Handeln in der Wirtschaft genutzt werden koennen. (Experimental economics can be used to identify causal influences on behavior under controlled conditions. In particular it enables insights into behavioral tendencies in moral dilemmas, such as situations in which corruption is possible. By the example of research on corruption the paper sheds light on how experimental studies can be employed to gain a better understanding of moral intuitions and to design frameworks for ethical conduct in business.)
