Reviews
'... this is an excellent book, well suited to introduce economic psychology to students both in psychology and in economics/business ... [it] is one of the best introductions to economic psychology in the English language.' Edoardo Lozza, Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano
'This is a splendid, accessible and up-to-date resource for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates, written by two experts in the field. It reflects not only the now familiar overlap between cognitive psychology and behavioural economics based on prospect theory and other innovations, but also social psychological perspectives on lay theories and social representations. All sections include useful and engaging summaries, questions that can be used for students' essays, and suggestions for further reading.' Alan Lewis, University of Bath
'The book, from two intellectual heavyweights in economic psychology, provides an authoritative overview of the research's state-of-the-art in economic psychology. It is a must-read for everybody in the profession.' Martin Kocher, University of Munich
'Finally - economic psychology now has the textbook that it desperately needed. Comprehensive, informative, illustrative, and written by two of the most renowned experts in this field. For anybody interested in economic psychology, and especially for those who want to get the whole picture, this book is a must-read.' Stefan Schulz-Hardt, University of Goettingen
