I've removed most of the giant block of text about his supposed self-plagiarism. (It may be that the rest should be removed too, because the sources are poor or the text is original analysis.) The appropriate response to the impending deletion of a page - which people are voting to delete precisely because it's undue, unsourced negative information about a living person - is not to add everything into the biography of the person in question. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 19:30, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of the last sentence. Justification: Frey has never admitted to "self-plagiarism". In light of the more recent developments and the lack of clarity [see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:Bruno_Frey], the "case" should be given less emphasis; in particular, it should not be included right away in the introduction. -- 178.198.122.41 ( talk) 18:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Read his letter to David Autor, or the interview with Tages Anzeiger, both of which can be found in the references and both of which include acknowledgements by Frey that he self-plagiarized. It might not be appropriate to mention the many other informally documented cases because they are too close to being primary research. However the Titanic case is clear-cut and well-sourced, and clearly significant enough to warrant its own subsection and a mention in the introduction. -- Martha6981 —Preceding undated comment added 15:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC).
As concerns a) "Frey is one of the pioneers in this field" Gordon Tulloch, Public Choice (Review, Frey, Bruno S. (1978). Modern Political Economy, Oxford: Martin Robertson); c) "Bruno Frey provides a stimulating and wide-ranging discussion of personal motivation that opens out traditional economics to provide a more mature view of individuals as being sensitive to private and moral motives as well as market incentives." -- Alan Hamlin, University of Southampton, UK. (Review, Not just for the money. An economic theory of personal motivation. E. Elgar, Cheltenham [u.a.], 1997).-- 178.198.122.41 ( talk) 18:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
The issue needs to be covered in this article as thoroughly as possible. Yet, the creation of a whole sub-section puts too much weight on it. (see also "Comment to modification of introduction")-- 178.198.122.41 ( talk) 19:13, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Too much weight according to what? The allegations are well-sourced, he's lost his job at Zurich over it, and instances of academic dishonesty are always considered notable for academics. -- Martha6981 —Preceding undated comment added 15:11, 16 May 2012 (UTC).
Frey got his own website for documentation of self-plagiarism, FreyPlag, following the wikis for documentation of plagiarism by the German ex secretary for defense Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg and other politicians. I am not sure whether this should be covered but it includes information about a number of colleagues Frey closely collaborates with and with whom he seems to have engaged in self-plagiarism, also on topics prominently mentioned here, like terrorism, motivation and awards. This was also reported by blogs. [1] Zingophalitis ( talk) 02:12, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
The last few sentences of this section do not make sense. What does the German ex secretary have to do with Bruno Frey? They both were involved in scandals, but so what? The connection should be clearer, or I would suggest the sentences be removed. -- Che kid ( talk) 01:15, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

This page is in desperate need of editing, particularly with regards to WP:NOTCV, WP:NOTPROMOTION, and WP:PUFFERY. I will shortly begin an attempt to rein things in a bit, and this note is simply a heads-up to those of you who might wish to participate. JoJo Anthrax ( talk) 14:34, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
