Abstract

For some years, economists discuss the effects of teaching economics on their students? behavior. Research in experimental economics emphasizes the impact of students? major on their choices; in particular, economics students behave more in accordance with the standard theory, which leads to more selfish behavior. The interpretation of these results leads to discuss two potential effects: an indoctrination effect and a selection bias. Recent empirical studies assess the relative importance of both effects. In this survey, we propose an overview of the empirical results and discuss their implications and perspectives, especially in terms of economics teaching. Classification JEL: A12, A13, A20, D63
