Abstract

Throughout this book we have examined the role of ethics in different areas of economics. In this chapter we examine the role of ethics a little more systematically in a number of applied areas of economics or what are sometimes called sub-disciplines of economics.1 It is not possible, in a short chapter, to examine the ethical issues related to these subdisciplines in a comprehensive way, and we will do no more than make a few illustrative comments about how ethical issues enter these fields. Nor is it possible to traverse the entire range of sub-disciplines of economics. We will have to be content with a sampling of some fields which we consider to be particularly important both because of the issues they are concerned with and because of their relation with ethics. We discuss, in turn, development ethics, international ethics, environmental ethics, the ethics of labor and employment, and business ethics.
