"Advances in Behavioral Economics" is a pivotal collection that delves into the latest research and theories in the field of behavioral economics, an area of study that bridges the gap between economics and psychology. This book offers a deep exploration of how real human behavior—shaped by cognitive biases, emotions, and social factors—deviates from the traditional economic models of rational decision-making.

Edited by prominent figures in the field, such as Richard Thaler and Daniel Kahneman, "Advances in Behavioral Economics" compiles key studies and experimental findings that challenge the assumptions of classical economics. The book covers a wide range of topics, including decision-making under uncertainty, behavioral finance, the role of fairness and altruism in economic decisions, and the impact of psychological factors on market outcomes.

This comprehensive volume is essential for economists, psychologists, and anyone interested in understanding how behavioral insights can improve economic theory and practice. It provides readers with a thorough grounding in the concepts and methodologies of behavioral economics, highlighting how human behavior often diverges from the purely rational models that have long dominated economic thought.

Description:

In 1980, behavioural economics did not exist as a field. Most economists were deeply skeptical about importing insights from psychology into their discipline. In 2003, behavioural economics is virtually mainstream, and behavioural economists, including several contributors to this volume, have garnered some of the profession's most prestigious awards. This book assembles 25 of the most important papers in the area published since around 1990. Among them are many that update and extend earlier foundational contributions, as well as cutting-edge pieces that break new theoretical and empirical ground.
