The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Moral Rules, the Moral Sentiments, and Behavior: Toward a Theory of an Optimal Moral System (2007, background): “These problems can be conceived as involving two selves, a present self whose decisions negatively affect a future self—as Thaler and Shefrin (1981), Schelling (1984), and many others have suggested.”
Cooperation in Microcredit Borrowing Groups: Identity, Sanctions, and Reciprocity in the Production of Collective Goods (2005, background): “Reciprocity allows actors to make “credible commitments” (Schelling 1984) such that assurances of “I will cooperate so long as you do” are valid and self-reinforcing.”
Inequality, the Great Recession, and Slow Recovery (2014, unknown): “These heuristics do double-duty: they lighten the cognitive load of decision making and they can eliminate the threats to self-control (see Schelling, 1984 and Ainslie, 2005).”
The Polluter Pays Principle and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Change: An Application of Fund (2006, unknown): “See Schelling (1984) for a brilliant defence.”
