Der Verfasser berichtet über experimentelle Forschungsergebnisse zur Wahrnehmung von Gerechtigkeit. Dabei geht es zunächst um Menschen, die über gerechte Allokation hinter einem "Schleier der Ungewissheit" entscheiden müssen - eines der einflussreichsten Konzepte in der Theorie der Gerechtigkeit. Danach werden experimentelle Ergebnisse zu drei wichtigen Gerechtigkeitsprinzipien diskutiert: dem Effizienzprinzip, dem Anrechts-Prinzip und dem Bedürftigkeitsprinzip. Der Verfasser erörtert die Frage, wie die beobachteten sozialen Präferenzen wirtschaftstheoretisch gefasst werden können. Abschließend wird ein Ausblick auf künftige experimentelle Studien zu Gerechtigkeit in Verhandlungen und zu prozeduraler Gerechtigkeit gegeben. (ICEÜbers)

The most famous element in Bentham's theory of punishment, the Panopticon Prison, expresses his view of the two purposes of punishment, deterrence and special prevention. We investigate Bentham's intuition in a public goods lab experiment by manipulating how much information on punishment experienced by others is available to would-be offenders. Compared with the tone that Jeremy Bentham set, our results are non-expected: If would-be offenders learn about contributions and punishment of others at the individual level, they contribute much less to the public project. Our results confirm the special prevention effect but show that the deterrence effect is smaller the more information on individual punishment is available.

International audience This review surveys recent research developed in behavioral economics on the determinants of unethical behavior. Most recent progress has been made in three directions: the understanding of the importance of moral norms in individual decision-making, the conflicting role of opportunities provided by asymmetries of information and social preferences, and the crucial effect of rules, occupational norms and incentive schemes in the diffusion of dishonesty. The connection between economics and psychology is the most vivid on the first dimension.
