  Frey and Kahneman examine economics and happiness
Frey, whose books include "Happiness and Economics: How the Economy and Institutions Affect Human Well-Being," said preliminary results of a study have shown that long-term happiness is fairly constant and is not drastically affected by increases in income.
He also explained that happiness varies strongly from country to country, and that his demographic and economic research points to evidence that happiness can be measured simply by asking people to rank their well-being on a scale of one to 10.
Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman of Princeton (left) and economist Bruno Frey of the University of Zurich discussed the economics of happiness in Robertson Hall on Tuesday.

Frey’s research suggests that in the long run, the state does much better by putting more rather than less trust in its citizens.

Frey and Stutzer are at the Institute for Empirical Research in Economics at the University of Zurich, Bluemlisalpstr 10, CH-8006 Zurich, Switzerland.

Frey, however, has been able to prove in a study carried out in Switzerland that citizens are neither stupid nor uniformed.

 Bruno Frey on Awards « Organizations and Markets
Bruno Frey is one of those economists who make economics fun.
Thus, quite a lot of Frey’s enormous (and enormously impressive) production has been devoted to pushing the boundaries of economics by taking seriously psychology ideas on social comparison processes, intrinsic motivation, etc. His work with Margit Osterloh on the motivational foundations of knowledge sharing in organizations will be familiar to many readers of this blog.
Frey does so to understand the award phenomenon (i.e., orders, medals, decorations, and prizes) that in spite of being all around us is curiously under-researched.

 AEA Consulting
Bruno Frey was a pioneer in the field of the political business cycle, the way in which politicians in democracies seek to manipulate macroeconomic variables to win elections and the predictably deleterious impact of such behavior on economic growth.
Frey continues to explore the field of social choice theory, and his recent book is a collection of essays - many reprinted from The Journal of Cultural Economics - on the application of the world of homo economicus to a range of cultural issues.  These include:
The style is brusque and school masterly, and Frey relishes the iconoclastic conclusions he reaches in many of his exercises in deductive reasoning, some of which are supported by statistical evidence, but usually by no more than an illustrative vignette.

 Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Dealing with Terrorism: Stick or Carrot? - Bruno S. Frey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Frey, a Swiss economist, provides a systematic account of what economists and other social scientists have to say about the motivations for and dynamics of terrorism, largely in a "rational actor" framework in which all individuals-whether business officials, politicians, bureaucrats, police officers, or terrorists-are assumed to act in ways that benefit themselves and their causes.
Frey argues that the existing approach to terrorism, almost exclusively through deterrence, is not alone likely to be effective.
This approach will seem too mechanical to some readers, but Frey provides a useful compilation of the arguments and evidence, pro and con, for various strategies for dealing with terrorism.

Bruno Frey and Reiner Eichenberger, two Swiss economists, present their ideas in an engaging and straightforward way.
The one to which they owe most attention is the institutional problems of the EU and the prospects of the expansion of the EU to accept a large number of new member countries, in particular from Eastern Europe.
It is no relevant argument against Frey and Eichenberger that their prescription for the creation of functional, overlapping, and competing jurisdictions is unable to operate.

 Government Without Territorial Monopoly | Daily Policy Digest | NCPA
The most overlooked form of government you are likely to hear about is "functional, overlapping, competing jurisdictions (FOCJs)," according to Swiss political economist Bruno Frey in the summer issue of the Independent Review.
But that is an unfortunate misconception because, argues Frey, the FOCJ model offers significant advantages over its cousin, traditional federalism.
These are public jurisdictions that levy their own tax, whose rate is determined by a citizen meeting.
