"Should economics take account of neuro-physiological data? Can subjective states of mind play a useful role in economic analysis? These and other provocative questions are examined and debated in this fascinating volume of essays from some of the deepest thinkers in contemporary economics."--Eric Maskin, Nobel Laureate in Economics, Institute for Advanced Study"I have an especially high opinion of Caplin and Schotter. I think they are among the most creative economists around. This initiative reflects that creativity."--George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics, Koshland Professor of Economics, University of California at Berkeley"Are you puzzled by the implications of behavioral economics? Are we in the throes of a paradigm shift? Is neoclassical economics refuted? Economic methodology has never been more disputed. If you want to be part of the debate, this book is the place to start."--Ken Binmore, University College London"Should economics take account of neuro-physiological data?
