Hi Michael, You might be interested in John Staddon's recently published book The Malign Hand. http://www.amazon.com/The-Malign-Hand-Markets-Destroying/dp/0071797408/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342379500&sr=8-1&keywords=john+staddon
It's not exactly what you are asking for, but close. It's the application of behavioral principles to a number of economic concerns. Keep in mind that behaviorism has come a long way since Skinner so more complex analyses are possible. I think his book is quite good. Incidentally, he'll be making an appearance on our podcast in the near future (www.CBTRadio.org) to discuss his book and the ideas contained therein. Trent > > A penalty or a tax?
