Handbook of Contemporary Behavioral Economics
At a time when both scholars and the public demand explanations and answers to key economic problems that conventional approaches have failed to resolve, this groundbreaking handbook of original works by leading behavioral economists offers the first comprehensive articulation of behavioral economics theory.

Each contribution includes an extensive bibliography.
