Thaler|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] authored with various colleagues in the "Anomalies" series of the Journal of Economic Perspectives over the period 1987-1990, investigating behaviours which could not be accounted for by the standard economics paradigm. In spite of the time that has gone by, many of the anomalies are still relevant today. Of the academic journals published by the American Economic Association, this is the one more oriented to a general readership, making this a very accessible book to non economists. Author Jonah Lehrer has chosen to discuss The Winner’s Curse: Paradoxes and Anomalies of Economic Life on FiveBooks as one of the top five on his subject - Decision-Making, saying that: “...In this book, Thaler is trying to take all these canonical examples in economics and saying, now we’ve got more accurate models of what people actually do, shouldn’t we revise our models? One example that Thaler uses is the ultimatum game, and it shows we don’t behave the way we’re supposed to behave, we’re neither particularly rational or selfish. In fact the only people who actually act like they’re supposed to act according to economics textbooks are people with autism. …” The full interview is available here: http://fivebooks.com/interviews/jonah-lehrer-on-decision-making Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In this book, Nobel Prize-winning economist Richard Thaler challenges the received economic wisdom by revealing many of the paradoxes that abound even in the most painstakingly constructed transactions. He presents literate, challenging, and often funny examples of such anomalies as why the winners at auctions are often the real losers--they pay too much and suffer the "winner's curse"--why gamblers bet on long shots at the end of a losing day, why shoppers will save on one appliance only to pass up the identical savings on another, and why sports fans who wouldn't pay more than $200 for a Super Bowl ticket wouldn't sell one they own for less than $400. He also demonstrates that markets do not always operate with the traplike efficiency we impute to them. An ebook edition is available from The Free Press at leading on-line booksellers.
