Abstract: Many foreign scholars adopted different empirical methods,such as moral experiments or survey data to inquiry whether economists are more selfish than other groups in recent years.Most of results have proved that economists behave more selfish than non-economists,and also lack pro-social behaviors generally.The reasons can be divided into the gender difference hypothesis,self choice hypothesis and indoctrination hypothesis,etc.This paper summarized these classical studies to emphatically analyze the economists' behavior in the financial crisis.The results showed that the education of economics courses has long-term effects on students who would become micro impellers of the global financial crisis.The neoclassical economists are also responsible for the crisis by calling it an unpredictable.

Key words: economist, pro-social behavior, psychological experiment, survey
