Advances in behavioral economics

Advances in behavioral economics

Economic
Economic Behavior

This book was conceived several years ago when the editors, along with Drazen Prelec and Dick Thaler, spent a year as a working group at the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences (CASES). When we weren’t playing volley ball or hiking, we spent a lot of time taking stock of our field, making lists of what the main contributions were, and idly speculating about the future. We also contemplated various group projects, such as coediting a Handbook of Behavioral Economics. But none of us wanted to commit the time and energy it would take to ride herd on a group of authors who regard procrastination as such a regular feature of human behavior that they would be unembarrassed to procrastinate themselves. So the idea of a book of readings emerged, and eventually evolved into a
collection of recent, important papers in the field.
