Abstract

"Traditional economics assumes rational actors. Early in his research, Thaler realized these Spock-like automatons were nothing like real people. Whether buying a clock radio, selling basketball tickets, or applying for a mortgage, we all succumb to biases and make decisions that deviate from the standards of rationality assumed by economists. In other words, we misbehave. More importantly, our misbehavior has serious consequences. Dismissed at first by economists as an amusing sideshow, the study of human miscalculations and their effects on markets now drives efforts to make better decisions in our lives, our businesses, and our governments"--Amazon.com. Argues that economical trends cannot be predicted as much as thought, mainly because humans are so unpredictable, and reveals how behavioral economic analysis opens up new ways to look at everything from household finance to assigning faculty offices in a new building.

Abstract

Nobelprijswinnaar Richard Thaler vertelt in "Misbehaving' het verhaal van drie wetenschappers die in een gezamenlijke queeste de economie op haar kop zetten en vrienden werden voor het leven.Toen in de jaren zeventig economie als een harde wetenschap werd geprofileerd, rebelleerde een klein groepje wetenschappers hiertegen. Zij stelden dat er een belangrijk ding over het hoofd werd gezien in de economie: de mens. Thaler, Kahneman en Tversky legden de basis voor wat we nu de gedragseconomie noemen."Misbehaving' is een persoonlijk verhaal, doorspekt met prachtige anekdotes en leerzame voorbeelden uit het dagelijks leven. De leukste manier om iets te leren over gedragseconomie. Bron : http://www.bol.com

Abstract

With relatable examples from everyday life investments, household spending to television game show dilemmas and the NFL draft, Misbehaving offers a present-at-the-creation account of Thaler s battle to upend traditional economic thinking. As readable as Freakonomics, as provocative as Thinking, Fast and Slow, Misbehaving is a singular look into profound human foibles one that will have readers retooling their grocery lists and retirement strategies, and lead managers to rethink every aspect of their business.

Abstract

Every day we make countless decisions, from the small, mundane things to tackling life’s big questions, but we don’t always make the right choices. Behavioural scientist Dr David Halpern heads up Number 10’s ‘Nudge Unit’, the world’s first government institution that uses behavioural economics to examine and influence human behaviour, to ‘nudge’ us into making better decisions. Seemingly small and subtle solutions have led to huge improvements across tax, healthcare, pensions, employment, crime reduction, energy conservation and economic growth.Adding a crucial line to a tax reminder brought forward millions in extra revenue; refocusing the questions asked at the job centre helped an extra 10 per cent of people come off their benefits and back into work; prompting people to become organ donors while paying for their car tax added an extra 100,000 donors to the register in a single year. After two years and dozens of experiments in behavioural science, the results are undeniable. And now David Halpern and the Nudge Unit will help you to make better choices and improve your life
