Social scientists describe reciprocity as prosocial behavior. Some philosophers argue it is a fundamental virtue. Subtle and fluent reciprocity between life partners may well be commendable. But reciprocity between institutions with divergent missions, purposes, or interests raises serious ethical concerns. In such cases, reciprocity may create subtle forms of influence that imperil institutional integrity. Ethical concerns are most acute when one institution has an obligation to protect the interests of third parties (especially vulnerable populations), and its reciprocal behavior adversely affects those third parties. When a public health agency partners with a corporation whose products or practices have adverse effects on health, asymmetric reciprocity may seriously undermine public health. The concept of stewardship can help public officials identify and address ethically problematic reciprocity.

Abstract Is it particularly human to feel coerced into fulfilling moral obligations, or is it particularly human to enjoy them? I argue for the importance of taking into account how culture promotes prosocial behavior, discussing how Confucian heritage culture enhances the satisfaction of meeting one's obligations.
