Description
Behavioural Economics is a relatively new school of economic thought and can encompass a number of strands such as 'new institutional/transaction cost economics', economic psychology and psychological economics, consumer behaviour and decision theory. The papers presented here reveal something of the development, philosophy and range of applicability of behavioural economics.
Reviews / Votes
'Behavioral Economics . . . is especially welcome because so many economists are unclear as to the precise nature and scope of this subject which is relatively new, still taking shape and highly interdisciplinary.'More details
