Bruno Frey
Bruno S. Frey (born May 4, 1941 in Basel, Switzerland) is a Swiss economist. He is a Distinguished Professor of Behavioral Science at Warwick Business School, University of Warwick (UK), and a former professor at the University of Zurich. Perhaps his best known research relates to critiques of Homo economicus or economic man, arguing that it places excessive emphasis on extrinsic motivation rather than intrinsic motivation. Another field where his contributions have gained considerable attention is the economic analysis of happiness. Frey has written, co-written or edited more than a dozen books and has written more than 350 journal articles, mostly in economics journals, but also in political science, sociology and psychology. In 2011, Frey was criticised for and admitted to self-plagiarism.
