A Course in Behavioral Economics

A Course in Behavioral Economics, 3rd Edition, is an introductory textbook that examines decision-making and explains both the formal theory and underlying intuitions of the field. Erik Angner explores how people make decisions and what makes them good or bad, without requiring advanced mathematics.

The volume covers choice under certainty, probability judgment, and decision-making under risk and uncertainty. It also addresses intertemporal choice, strategic interaction, and applications to behavioral policy.

Designed for students entering the discipline from diverse fields, the textbook serves as an introductory text or as supplementary reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate study. It is also suitable for general readers interested in moving beyond popular-science treatments.
