مقدمه‌ای بر اقتصاد رفتاری: مفهوم،‌ روش‌شناسی و شیوه‌های استخراج ترجیحات

Homo economicus and economical characteristics of human behavior is one of the most important topics in economic theory. For modeling, forecasting, policy making and all its functions, economics, as a human science, requires a proper understanding of man as the axis of economic decision-makings. At least after a point in history of economics with the acceptance of principles such as maximizing self-interest and rational behavior, mainstream economics, especially neoclassical economics has ignored the anthropological studies. Some economists believe that these inflexible assumptions are the causes of practical economic failures. Behavioral economics aims to solve this problem through various methods. Today, behavioral economics has made great progress with the help of knowledge and research methods of Psychology. Behavioral games are one of the research methods of behavioral economics. This paper attempts to study the methodology of behavioral economics through the introduction of the most important and widely used behavioral games. The seven games discussed are prisoners’ dilemma (PD), public goods, ultimatum, dictator, trust, gift exchange, and third party punishment.
