| 2023 behavioral ethics and compliance index While in the more than ten years of its existence the COI Blog has been devoted primarily to examining conflicts of interest it has also run quite a few posts on what behavioral ethics might mean for corporate compliance and ethics programs. Below is an updated version of a topical index to these latter posts. Note that a) to keep this list to a reasonable length I’ve put each post under only one topic, but many in fact relate to multiple topics (particularly the risk assessment and communication ones); and b) there is some overlap between various of the post.INTRODUCTION – Business ethics research for your whole company (with Jon Haidt)– Overview of the need for behavioral ethics and compliance– Behavioral ethics and compliance: strong and specific medicine– Behavioral C&E and its limits– Another piece on limits
