The Neuroeconomics Revolution - Robert J. Shiller - Project Syndicate

Via Scoop.it – Bounded Rationality and Beyond

Economics is at the start of a revolution that is traceable to an unexpected source: medical schools and their research facilities. The neuroeconomic revolution has passed some key milestones quite recently, notably the publication last year of neuroscientist Paul Glimcher’s book Foundations of Neuroeconomic Analysis – a pointed variation on the title of Paul Samuelson’s 1947 classic work, Foundations of Economic Analysis, which helped to launch an earlier revolution in economic theory. And Glimcher himself now holds an appointment at New York University’s economics department (he also works at NYU’s Center for Neural Science).
