The New Palgrave Economics Collection Following the publication of the award-winning and much-acclaimed The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, Second Edition, which brings together Nobel Prize winners and the brightest young scholars to survey the discipline, a new series of reference books is now available. Each title in The New Palgrave Economics Collection is composed of articles from the Dictionary and covers a fundamental theme within economics. All of the articles have been specially chosen by the editors of the Dictionary, Steven N. Durlauf and Lawrence E. Blume, and are written by leading practitioners in the field. Behavioural and Experimental Economics Behavioural and experimental economics have thrived over the last decades as economics has increasingly sought to incorporate psychological insights into theoretical and empirical analysis. The limits of simple versions of rationality and the exploration of alternative behaviourally-based decision models is a thriving field of research.Covering topics ranging from the social determination of preferences to behavioural finance, this volume is invaluable for academic and professional readers wanting to inform themselves of the fundamental themes of these fields.
