Moral rules as public goods

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine a better alternative to rational interaction that can be taught. Effective interaction is characterized by a commitment to moral rules that game theorists and economists have come to consider as a public good. Thus, rational persons act according to such rules due to fear of formal and social sanctions which prompts them to settle for implied second-best results. Results suggest that voluntarily guiding one's choice by rules is a prerequisite for engaging in rational interaction.

Moral problems of employing foreign workers

Article Abstract:

Both the domestic employers and the receiving country have moral obligations to foreign workers, as opposed to nationals, and bear responsibility for their subsistence. To examine these obligations, a conceptual framework is developed based on the multinational corporation ethical research. Two general types of ethical problems, namely compliance problems and genuine moral dilemmas, are distinguished in the ethical analysis of foreign worker employment.
