Abstract	"The moral economy is a set of institutionalized rules, norms, and values that guide action in market economies. Historically, the norm of wage negotiations has been a central pilar of the U.S. moral economy, but extant research suggests that this may be changing. In the present study, we seek to evaluate whether the norm of wage negotiations is decoupled from the U.S. moral economy. To do so, we map the character of the norm of wage negotiations, and identify the extent to which the norm is strong or weak along four dimensions: polarity, conditionality, intensity, and consensus. Results of a factorial survey experiment administered to a quota sample of U.S. adults (N = 707) indicate that the norm of wage negotiations is weak: it is largely bipolar, conditional, and of a low-to-moderate intensity, with disagreement over the norm as well as the circumstances demarcating the norm. These deep social cleavages, however, do not fall along demographic lines: the character of the norm is comparable across demographic groups. Overall, our findings support the idea that there has been an erosion of the distributional norms underlying the U.S. moral economy." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
