This session will bring together researchers working on issues at the intersection of psychology and economics. The segment will focus on evidence of and explanations for non-standard choice patterns, as well as the positive and normative implications of those patterns in a wide range of economic decision-making contexts. The presentations will build upon insights from other disciplines, including psychology and sociology. Theoretical, empirical, and experimental studies will be included.
