The Economics Of Non-Selfish Behaviour: Decisions To Contribute Money To Public Goods
In standard economic theory, human beings are portrayed as selfish money-maximizing actors. This book investigates the conditions under which people deviate from this prediction and when they are prepared to contribute to the common good in more altruistic fashion.

Policymaking Insights From Behavioral Economics
Behavioral economics is motivated by a range of empirical facts that are at apparent odds with assumptions of standard economic theory. But while behavioral approaches are becoming common in academia, it is unclear how behavioral models should inform economic policymaking in general, and central banking in particular. This conference, entitled “Implications of Behavioral Economics for Economic Policy,” discussed the implications of behavioral economics for macroeconomic policy, with special attention to the regulatory and monetary policy responsibilities of central banks.
