Moral Norms, Adaptive Preferences, and Hedonic Psychology
In a series of important papers published roughly twenty years ago, Professor Robert Cooter developed a comprehensive economic theory of moral norms. He explained the value of those norms, described the process by which norms are adopted, and offered a set of predictions regarding the circumstances under which an individual will choose to adopt a particular moral norm. This brief Article applies behavioral law and economics and hedonic psychology to expand upon Professor Cooter’s path-breaking theory. In particular, understanding welfare in hedonic terms — rather than preference-satisfaction terms — suggests a multitude of further situations in which individuals will justifiably seek to internalize moral norms. The hedonic approach to welfare then further suggests an enhanced role for the government to play in encouraging the adoption of welfare-enhancing norms. Cooter’s theory, combined with modern understandings of welfare and human behavior, thus offers powerful predictive and prescriptive possibilities.

Local–global principle for reduced norms over function fields of -adic curves
Let$K$be a (non-archimedean) local field and let$F$be the function field of a curve over$K$. Let$D$be a central simple algebra over$F$of period$n$and$\\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\\in F^{\\ast }$. We show that if$n$is coprime to the characteristic of the residue field of$K$and$D\\cdot (\\unicode[STIX]{x1D706})=0$in$H^{3}(F,\\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{n}^{\\otimes 2})$, then$\\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$is a reduced norm from$D$. This leads to a Hasse principle for the group$\\operatorname{SL}_{1}(D)$, namely, an element$\\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\\in F^{\\ast }$is a reduced norm from$D$if and only if it is a reduced norm locally at all discrete valuations of$F$.

Perceptions of the appropriate response to norm violation in 57 societies
Norm enforcement may be important for resolving conflicts and promoting cooperation. However, little is known about how preferred responses to norm violations vary across cultures and across domains. In a preregistered study of 57 countries (using convenience samples of 22,863 students and non-students), we measured perceptions of the appropriateness of various responses to a violation of a cooperative norm and to atypical social behaviors. Our findings highlight both cultural universals and cultural variation. We find a universal negative relation between appropriateness ratings of norm violations and appropriateness ratings of responses in the form of confrontation, social ostracism and gossip. Moreover, we find the country variation in the appropriateness of sanctions to be consistent across different norm violations but not across different sanctions. Specifically, in those countries where use of physical confrontation and social ostracism is rated as less appropriate, gossip is rated as more appropriate.
Little is known about people’s preferred responses to norm violations across countries. Here, in a study of 57 countries, the authors highlight cultural similarities and differences in people’s perception of the appropriateness of norm violations.

Essential Norms of Weighted Composition Operators from the alpha -Bloch Space to a Weighted-Type Space on the Unit Ball
This paper finds some lower and upper bounds for the essential norm of the weighted composition operator from α -Bloch spaces to the weighted-type space [superscript]Hμ∞[/superscript] on the unit ball for the case α≥1 .
