Topic 9.6
How might an economist explain aggressive behavior using cost-benefit analysis?
They could assert aggression never has economic implications or consequences since it's purely emotional.
They may argue aggression is irrational, as its net impact on societal welfare is negative.
They may posit aggressive behavior as a rational choice when perceived benefits outweigh costs.
They would suggest aggressive acts always incur more costs than benefits, dissuading them entirely.
