Introduction or preface
Law is not the only driver of social regulation. Informal rules, emerging spontaneously, also help to shape collective behaviours. Based on a different genesis, such two forms of regulation are not unrelated; In fact, the effectiveness of legal rules is often affected by the simultaneous presence of social or cultural norms of the opposite sign. The paper aims to offer insights into the topic, drawing inspiration from a new empirical and computational legal research approach. After a brief introduction to such a perspective, we will focus on the contents of a recent re-search experience that exploits computational methods to explore in empirical terms the conflict between formal and informal norms. The analysis combines natural subject experiments and agent-based simulation to shed light on individual decision-making and social interaction processes that could promote informal norms in the railway maintenance context, focusing, in particular, on the role played by time pressure and misinformation. In the last part, we discuss the results, by sketching a few considerations on theoretical and methodological issues that emerged from the research.
