Reviews

Advance praise: '... this is an excellent book, well suited to introduce economic psychology to students both in psychology and in economics/business ... [it] is one of the best introductions to economic psychology in the English language.' Edoardo Lozza, Universit... Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano Advance praise: 'This is a splendid, accessible and up-to-date resource for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates, written by two experts in the field. It reflects not only the now familiar overlap between cognitive psychology and behavioural economics based on prospect theory and other innovations, but also social psychological perspectives on lay theories and social representations. All sections include useful and engaging summaries, questions that can be used for students' essays, and suggestions for further reading.' Alan Lewis, University of Bath
