Father Knows Best: Using Adam Smith to Teach Transactions Costs
Dupont, Brandon
Journal of Economic Education, v45 n4 p320-329 2014
Adam Smith's moral philosophy can be used to introduce economics students to the important idea of transactions costs. The author provides a brief background in this article to Smith's moral philosophy and connects it to the costs of transacting in a way that fits easily into the standard principles of microeconomics classroom. By doing so, instructors can also demonstrate to students that there are connections between ethical behavior and market outcomes.
