Critics Review
This is an exceptionally clear guide to the alternative ways economists can approach decision-making and choice. It presents a thorough introduction to both standard and behavioural theories of decision-making, equipping readers to understand the issues raised by ‘nudge’ policies as opposed to their more conventional alternatives. * Diane Coyle, University of Cambridge, UK *
Erik Angner has written a wonderful introductory overview of behavioral economics. This book has a unique balance between accessibility and precision, which enhances a good understanding of the key concepts in behavioral economics. It has a concise style with many examples and exercises, and thereby is a great book for teachers and students. * Kirsten Rohde, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands *
This text combines a succinct yet rigorous outline of standard choice theory with a lively and engaging discussion of many key findings and concepts of behavioral economics. I especially welcome its discussion of how these insights may be used (and abused) in government and business alike. * Stephen L. Cheung, University of Sydney, Australia *
