Economics as a Science of Human Behaviour: Towards a New Social Science Paradigm

Description: Economics as a Science of Human Behaviour by Bruno S. Frey Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book champions the view that economics is a social science, and that, moreover, it may serve as a new paradigm for the social sciences. On the contrary, economics can provide useful insights only in collaboration with the other social Vll Vlll PREFACE sciences-an aspect which has been disregarded by mathematically oriented economics. Publisher Description This study presents the view that economics can serve as a paradigm for all of the social sciences by dealing with actual problems of society. Providing insights into our understanding of human behaviour, it also suggests solutions to social problems in such areas as the environment, politics, art, family, history and academia. The economic model is extended by emphasizing issues of fairness and morals and by relating to psychological issues. This revised second edition presents three new chapters; fair siting procedures to preserve the natural environment, an economic analysis of the behaviour of academics, and fairness in social interactions (prisoners dilemmas and ultimatum games). Author Biography Burno S. Frey is Professor of Economics at the University of Zurich, Distinguished Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School, University of Warwick, and Research Director of CREMA (the Center for Research in Economics, Management, and the Arts).
