Recenzii
With new material on neuroeconomics, as well as applications to current political and economic developments such as Brexit in the UK and polarization in the US, the third edition of An Introduction to Behavioral Economics expands, and brings up to date, this superb introduction to the field of behavioral economics. With their unique and interesting perspective, and engaging writing, the authors help readers share in the excitement of those currently working in the field.
An Introduction to Behavioral Economics, by Nick Wilkinson and Matthias Klaes, is an excellent introduction to behavioural economics from the perspective of economic psychology and the determinants of choice behaviour, building on the tradition established by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Moreover, Wilkinson and Klaes present behavioural economics in the context of economic theory thereby linking behavioural economic insights with contemporary economic theory. They also pay some attention to the sociology of choice which further enriches their presentation and insights. This is definitely a book that should be read by anyone interested in behavioural economics.
A thoroughly updated third edition of this popular textbook which covers cutting-edge behavioural economics in a pleasingly engaging style. Students will appreciate the structure of chapters: after the Introduction to the field section, including the nature of behavioural economics and methodology, the Foundations section provides the fundamental groundwork, followed by Intertemporal Choice, and then Strategic Interaction, including game theory and social preferences, before the Conclusion ties everything together and considers the future of the field. Mathematics is used sparingly, and there are thoughtful pedagogic features that will aid learning. The breadth of coverage is impressive, ranging from evolutionary approaches, biology and neuroeconomics, to recent political events in the UK (Brexit) and elsewhere (e.g., the election of Donald Trump in the USA). This excellent textbook should inform and inspire students.
The third edition provides a superbly accessible introduction to behavioural economics, whilst ensuring a detailed examination of the theories and research studies underpinning them. The text remains at the forefront of theoretical development, whilst providing topical and engaging applications to hold students' attention.
This new edition of Wilkinson and Klaes' excellent text is most welcome given my students' very positive appraisal of the previous edition. The book's strengths are its comprehensiveness, open approach to the issues behavioral economics raises, and methodology emphasis. Strongly recommended for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students.
By now An Introduction to Behavioral Economics is firmly established in the field of behavioral economics. It continues to be a premier textbook despite the recent appearance of several competitors. The academic rigor and depth of coverage are unmatched. It is also an invaluable reference for which you will reach again and again. The reader will particularly appreciate the discussions of the bridges between behavioral economics, experimental economics, neuroeconomics, and psychology. Concise and comprehensive, a-must-have for any behavioral economics scholar.
