You might enjoy this book if you're intrigued by the intersection of psychology and economics and want to understand how human behaviour impacts economic decision-making. It provides a clear and accessible overview of key concepts, making it suitable for both students and anyone curious about why people make the choices they do in financial contexts.

Description

This textbook examines decisions — how we make them, and what makes them good or bad. In this bestselling introduction, Erik Angner clearly lays out the theory of behavioural economics and explains the intuitions behind it.

The book offers a rich tapestry of examples, exercises, and problems drawn from fields such as economics, management, marketing, political science, and public policy. It shows how to apply the principles of behavioural economics to improve your life and work — and to make the world a better place to boot. No advanced mathematics is required.

This is an ideal textbook for students coming to behavioural economics from various fields. It can be used on its own in introductory courses, or in combination with other texts at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is equally suitable for general readers who have been captivated by popular-science books on behavioural economics and want to know more about this intriguing subject.

New to this Edition:

An updated chapter on behavioural policy and the nudge agenda.
Several new sections, for example on the economics of happiness.
Updated examples and exercises, with an expanded answer key.
Refreshed ancillary resources make for a plug and play experience for instructors teaching behavioural economics for the first time.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

A Course in Behavioral Economics by Erik Angner is lauded for its clear exposition and balanced approach to conveying both traditional and behavioural economic theories. It effectively introduces readers to decision-making processes and the implications of 'nudge' policies, making it a valuable resource for students and educators alike. The book's accessible style, enriched with examples and exercises, makes complex concepts approachable, and it thoughtfully discusses the practical applications and potential misapplications in policy and business contexts.
