Reviews
This book provides an excellent overview of the most important advancements in the field of behavioural and experimental economics. It is a brilliant textbook for social researchers, as well as for students interested in this exciting area. Michalis Drouvelis, Lecturer in Economics, University of Birmingham, UK Behavioral Economics is a wonderful introduction to the emerging field of behavioral economics to advanced undergraduates and masters students alike. It has a comprehensive treatment of individual decision-making, while also covering the more recent developments in behavioral game theory. Miguel A. Fonseca, Senior Lecturer in Economics, University of Exeter, UK Behavioural economics has gone mainstream. With its new status comes the demand for it in the undergraduate curriculum. Introduction to Behavioral Economics is comprehensive, while presented with the minimum technical fuss and replete with examples that are easy to relate to. All in all, it should prove to be a very useful and accessible introductory text at the undergraduate level. Sujoy Mukerji, Professor of Economics, Oxford University, UK
