I do not know about syllabi, but while you might not assign it to students, you might find the following of interest, a paper by me, "Tales from the Editors' Crypt: Dealing with True, Uncertain, and False Accusations of Plagiarism."  It is #14 from the bottom on my website at http://cob.jmu.edu/rosserjb .  I note that the version now in press for a book of essays by journal editors has been heavily redacted in order to avoid a threat of lawsuit.  This is the unexpurgated version.

Subject: [SHOE] Research ethics in economics

Dear list members,

I am setting up a new course on research ethics in economics. My intention is to teach undergraduate economics students on plagiarism, scientific misconduct, fraud, and other related issues in scientific research. I have been searching the Internet since last week, hoping to find similar syllabi on the subject. I have found many courses designed for students of biological sciences and media studies. However, Google Search tells me that there is only one economics course on this subject, which is in Princeton by Anne C. Case and Stephen E. Morris, entitled "Responsible Conduct of Research in Economics." I used other keywords, such as "scientific misconduct in economics research" and "ethical issues in economics"; the results did not change.

I thought I must be doing something wrong. I therefore would like to ask:  Does anybody know any course, graduate or undergraduate, on research ethics in economics?

Best wishes,
