SUMMARY:Concerns for Status and Social Image: Theory\, Evidence and Implica
 tions for Welfare and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nThe human desire for social status and prestige has r
 ecently received increasing interest in economics. Despite the huge body o
 f theory and evidence\, our understanding of how social image concerns aff
 ect social welfare remains limited\, and it is unclear whether or to what 
 extent social and industrial policy should be concerned with potential neg
 ative effects of the quest for status. Moreover\, not only are the empiric
 al results mixed and point to important behavioral heterogeneity\, but als
 o the theoretical approaches have taken different routes with at times str
 ikingly different conclusions. \n\nThe goal of this workshop is to bring t
 ogether scholars from Europe and the US working with different approaches 
 and methodologies on the various facets of status concerns in order to eng
 age in a discussion about what we know about the mechanisms behind and the
  economic consequences of status-seeking behavior\, and to discuss when th
 ese concerns call for policy interventions and how these could be designed
