Foundational Behavioral and Economic Ideas In the words of Richard Thaler, people behave as humans, not as econs. Individuals’ choices are highly malleable, often shaped by what would otherwise be considered irrelevant factors, particularly the behavioral phenomena discussed in Chapter 2. Behavioral economics is a response to the fact that the traditional economic model, which assumes that rational individuals behave in predictable ways, is incomplete and fails to account for important aspects of human behavior. Evidence from the behavioral sciences has demonstrated the critical role of phenomena such as biased perception, attention bias, memory bias, and complex influences of context in decision making that are not considered in traditional economic models. Behavioral economists have integrated understanding of these phenomena with tools and methods from traditional economic analysis. In this chapter we look first at traditional economic modeling and its role in economic analysis and then discuss the behavioral phenomena that have been particularly important for behavioral economics.
