Abstract
The emerging sub-field of identity economics has gained a recognizable increase in interest since the publishing of the seminal work of Akerlof and Kranton (2000). One must acknowledge that there have been significant antecedents of their work within psychology. According to our review of the related literature, the application of social identity theory from social psychology to economics seems as a theoretically well-founded logical step; however, the actual integration of the concept of identity into the analysis of economic choice has resulted in a rather fragmented literature. In this paper, we reviewed the seminal theoretical works, and the most representative empirical papers on possible applicability of the identity economics approach. We claim that after recognition of alternative approaches like considering identity as relations, rather than categories, the field will gain a more significant role in economic analysis.
