Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Advances In Behaviour Economics by Colin F. Camerer, George Loewenstein, Matthew Rabin
Twenty years ago, behavioral economics did not exist as a field. Most economists were deeply skeptical even antagonistic toward the idea of importing insights from psychology into their field. Today, behavioral economics has become virtually mainstream. It is well represented in prominent journals and top economics departments, and behavioral economists, including several contributors to this volume, have garnered some of the most prestigious awards in the profession. This book assembles of most important writing on behavioral economics published since around 1990. Among the twenty-five essays are many that update and extend earlier foundational contributions, as well as cutting-edge ones that break new theoretical and empirical ground. Advances in Behavioral Economics will serve as the definitive single-volume resource for those who want to familiarize themselves with the new field or keep up-to-date with the latest developments. It will not only be a core text for students, but will be consulted widely by professional economists, as well as psychologists and social scientists with an interest in how behavioral insights are being applied in economics.
