The third edition of this successful textbook is a comprehensive, rigorous survey of the major topics in the field of behavioral economics. Building on the strengths of the second edition, it offers an up-to-date and critical examination of the latest literature, research, developments and debates in the field. Offering an inter-disciplinary approach, the authors incorporate psychology, evolutionary biology and neuroscience into the discussions. And, ultimately, they consider what it means to be ‘rational’, why we so often indulge in ‘irrational’ and self-harming behavior, and also why ‘irrational’ behavior can sometimes serve us well.
A perfect book for economics students studying behavioural economics at higher undergraduate level or Master's level.
This new edition features:
- Extended material on heuristics and biases, and new material on neuroeconomics and its applications
- A wealth of new topical case studies, such as voting behavior in Brexit and the Trump election and the current obesity epidemic
- More examples and review questions to help cement understanding

With their unique and interesting perspective, and engaging writing, the authors help readers share in the excitement of those currently working in the field.' - GEORGE LOEWENSTEIN, CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY, USA
'Building on the tradition established by Kahneman and Tversky, An Introduction to Behavioral Economics is an excellent introduction to behavioural economics from the perspective of economic psychology and the determinants of choice behaviour. This is definitely a book that should be read by anyone interested in behavioural economics.' - MORRIS ALTMAN, THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE, AUSTRALIA
'A thoroughly updated third edition of this popular textbook which covers cutting edge behavioural economics in a pleasingly engaging style. The breadth of coverage is impressive, ranging from evolutionary approaches, biology and neuroeconomics, to recent political events in the UK (Brexit) and elsewhere (e.g., the election of Trump in the USA). This excellent textbook should inform and inspire students.' - PHILIP J. CORR, CITY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, UK
