A Behavioural Economist's Defence of the Market

• Gebundenes Buch

Normative analysis in economics usually aims at satisfying individuals' preferences, valuing economic freedom and viewing markets favourably. Behavioural research, however, shows that individuals' preferences are often unstable. Robert Sugden proposes a reformulation of normative economics compatible with psychology of choice.
