Behavioral Economics extends standard neoclassical economics models to incorporate features that are consistent with observed human behavior. The text explores (i) pro-social behavior such as cooperation, trust, reciprocity, and voluntary contributions to public goods, (ii) intertemporal choice that may be distorted by present bias, and (iii) choice in uncertain environments that are influenced by decreasing sensitivity and relatively painful loss. It also explores the role of natural selection in shaping human behavior, highlighting the co-evolution of genes and culture.

Reviews for Behavioral Economics

[This book] has excellent coverage of topics, really great learning design for students, and nice connection with academic studies. * Joe Price, Brigham Young University * Of all the textbooks I've seen this matches the style that I teach the course the best. It covers the main topics of behavioral topics well, strikes the right balance between simplicity and rigor, has nice graphics, and covers interesting side topics. * Benjamin Ho, Vassar College *
