The 2026 Economics Ig Nobel Prize went to the authors of the landmark 2012 study "Higher Social Class Predicts Increased Unethical Behavior".
The study showed that upper-class individuals are more likely to -
- break the law while driving
- exhibit unethical decision-making tendencies
- take valued goods from others
- lie in a negotiation
- cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize
- endorse unethical behavior at work
We knew that!
