Transport Economics: Theory, Application and Policy

This examination of transport economics brings alive economic theories for students, elucidating traditional concepts by applying them to a real world context. It examines the microeconomic concepts that underpin this sector and the implications for transport markets with real examples from across the EU.

The Behavioural Learning Classroom: Making Schools More Effective and Compassionate

Science & Math

Behavioral Sciences

Routledge

Teachers are virtually never taught how learners make decisions about studying, concentration and participation, and are not able to find this in educational literature. The Behavioural Learning Classroom breaks new ground, allowing teachers to harness their students' traits and quirks to produce a more effective and compassionate classroom. <ul> <li>Important lessons from behavioural science</li> <li>Optimising lesson design</li> <li>Effective (home)work</li> <li>Marking and feedback</li> <li>Rewards and sanctions</li> <li>The physical environment of the classroom</li> <li>Pupil behaviour</li> <li>Designing behavioural experiments and analysing data</li></ul> Supported by fundamental findings in behavioural science, this book provides practical, accessible, tried and tested techniques to improve the mental wellbeing of pupils and teachers alike. It is an enjoyable and accessible read for any teacher or school leader who wants to enhance their pupils' experience of learning.

Bounded Rationality and Behavioural Economics (Routledge Advances in Behavioural Economics and Finance)

Economics Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon developed the concept of bounded rationality in the 1950s. This asserts that the cognitive abilities of human decision-makers are not always sufficient to find optimal solutions to complex real-life problems, leading decision-makers to find satisfactory, sub-optimal outcomes. This was a foundational component of the development of Behavioural Economics but in recent years the two fields have diverged, each with its own literature, its own approach and its own proponents. Behavioural Economics explores the areas of commonality between Economics and Psychology, in terms of its focus and its approach, whereas the bounded rationality literature largely analyses the implications of sub-optimal decision‐making through the mathematically sophisticated methodology of mainstream Economics. This book examines the nature and consequences of this divergence and questions whether this is a case of beneficial specialisation or whether it is unhelpful, potentially stunting the development of some aspects of Economics. It has been suggested that the major deficiency of Behavioural Economics is that it has failed to produce a single, widely applicable alternative to constrained optimisation. This book evaluates the extent to which this is the true and, if it is, the extent to which it is a product of the divergence between the two literatures. It also seeks to identify commonalities between the two subjects and suggests avenues of research in Economics that would benefit from a re-fusion of these two fields.

Bounded Rationality (The Economy: Key Ideas)

Agenda Publishing

This short book introduces the field of bounded rationality to a beginning readership in economics. It is intended to be a tour of the key concepts involved in the modelling of bounded rationality, the approaches that have been adopted and some of the most revealing, and at times surprising, findings that have been generated. The book explores how bounded rationality has been used in economic models to shed light on real life behaviour and how doing so has led to specific policy implications that would otherwise have gone unappreciated. The exposition is intended to be non-technical and free from any mathematical expressions and workings and the focus throughout is primarily on the behaviour of individuals or organisations within given situations rather than on macroeconomic concerns. How the field has evolved since the 1950s and the strengths and weaknesses of its current research programme, including its relationship with behavioural economics, are assessed. Understanding how we take economic decisions and how we depart from rational choice theory has become fundamental to understanding the workings of the economy at all levels. The book is therefore excellent preparatory reading for degree-level courses in economics as well as specific courses in behavioural economics and philosophy of economics.

The rise of behavioral approaches in economics has been one of most significant developments in the study of economic decision-making in recent years. The increasingly acknowledged failings of standard models of choice to explain economic decisions has prompted economists to incorporate into their analysis psychological insights into individual behavior, such as social cognitive and emotional biases. This book introduces the topic of behavioral economics to a beginning readership, explaining its approach and methodology and assessing its successes and weaknesses.The book begins by tracing the evolution of the field from its origins in Adam Smith's moral sentiments through the work of Herbert Simon to Daniel Kahneman and Richard Thaler today. The book explores how behavioral economics has advanced our understanding of human preferences including notions of fairness, reciprocity, and inequality aversion, and the mental processes involved in decision making, which vary with the complexity of the decision and the ability of the decision-maker to process the information. The decision-making of individuals within social and economic groups is explored, including financial practitioners and what this can mean for financial markets. Finally the book looks at the ways in which findings from behavioral economics have been used to alter the decisions people make, such as the nudge approach, and the ethics of such persuasion.
