The last ten years have seen an enormous surge of interest in issues that are common to psychology and economics. How do people make decisions about economic issues? How should they make such decisions? Does public policy or regulation succeed in its aim of helping people make the decisions? What situations aid cooperation? This book explores some of the ways in which economists and psychologists have tried to answer these questions.
