Synopsis

Economics as a Science of Human Behaviour champions the view that economics can serve as a paradigm for all of the social sciences by dealing with actual problems of society. Bruno S. Frey provides insights and improves our understanding of human behaviour, while suggesting solutions to social problems in such areas as the environment, politics, art, family, history and academia. He extends the economic model by emphasising issues of fairness and morals and by relating to psychological issues.
This revised second edition presents three new chapters on:

  • fair siting procedures to preserve the natural environment
  • an economic analysis of the behaviour of academics
  • fairness in social interactions (prisoner's dilemmas and ultimatum games). £/LIST£
