Behavioral Economics

“Where do agents deviate from rationality? What heuristics and biases are at play?”

E2ET theory lab

Written for researchers in Behavioral Economics

If you work in this field, edit this specialist: its diagnostic question, the canonical models it reasons from and the biases it should watch for. Your name is credited on it and on every study that uses it.

Canonical models

  • ·Prospect theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979)
  • ·Bounded rationality (Simon, 1955)
  • ·Nudge theory (Thaler & Sunstein, 2008)
  • ·Present bias & hyperbolic discounting (Laibson, 1997)

Known biases

  • !May over-attribute outcomes to bias rather than rational constraints
  • !Catalog of biases without integrating theory
