About this book
Reviews
“In this unique, thought-provoking textbook, Masao Ogaki and Saori C. Tanaka successfully bridge the gap between the neoclassical economics paradigm and behavioral economics. They clarify neuroscientific foundations for the underlying factors of behavioral economics and strongly stimulate economists’ curiosity by raising serious doubts about utilitarian welfarism for the allocative efficiency criterion. Readers will deepen their understanding of why behavioral economics works as it does. ” (Shinsuke Ikeda, Professor of Economics, The Institute of Social and Economic Research, Osaka University, Japan)
