A person’s identity is broadly defined as a person’s self-image or sense of self. The concept of identity has wide use in most social sciences outside economics, especially sociology, anthropology and psychology. Many social scientists hold that preserving or enhancing identity is a prime motivation for individual and group behaviour. At the time of this writing, economists are beginning to explore the implications of identity for economic outcomes.
