consumer contracts Behavioral Economics vs neoclassical Economics
2007Co-Authors: Oren Bargill, Richard A. EpsteinAbstract:In the past decade Behavioral Economics has established itself as a contender to the throne of neoclassical Economics in the economic analysis of law. The pros and cons of Behavioral as compared to neoclassical Economics have been vigorously debated at the general, methodology level. But the success or failure of the Behavioral challenge will be judged by its ability to improve upon neoclassical Economics - both descriptively and prescriptively - in specific legal applications. Consumer contracts provide an important test case for Behavioral Economics. In this exchange we offer the first comprehensive debate between the Behavioral and neoclassical perspectives as applied to the law and Economics of consumer contracts.

applying Behavioral Economics to public health policy illustrative examples and promising directions
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Jennifer L Matjasko, John Cawley, Madeleine M Bakergoering, David YokumAbstract:Behavioral Economics provides an empirically informed perspective on how individuals make decisions, including the important realization that even subtle features of the environment can have meaningful impacts on behavior. This commentary provides examples from the literature and recent government initiatives that incorporate concepts from Behavioral Economics in order to improve health, decision making, and government efficiency. The examples highlight the potential for Behavioral Economics to improve the effectiveness of public health policy at low cost. Although incorporating insights from Behavioral Economics into public health policy has the potential to improve population health, its integration into government public health programs and policies requires careful design and continual evaluation of such interventions. Limitations and drawbacks of the approach are discussed.

The Oxford Handbook of Behavioral Economics and the Law - The Oxford Handbook of Behavioral Economics and the Law
2014Co-Authors: Eyal Zamir, Doron TeichmanAbstract:The past twenty years have witnessed a surge in Behavioral studies of law and law-related issues. These studies have challenged the application of the rational-choice model to legal analysis and introduced a more accurate and empirically grounded model of human behavior. This integration of Economics, psychology, and law is breaking exciting new ground in legal theory and the social sciences, shedding a new light on age-old legal questions as well as cutting edge policy issues. The Oxford Handbook of Behavioral Economics and Law brings together leading scholars of law, psychology, and Economics to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of this field of research, including its strengths and limitations as well as a forecast of its future development. Its 29 chapters organized in four parts. The first part provides a general overview of Behavioral Economics. The second part comprises four chapters introducing and criticizing the contribution of Behavioral Economics to legal theory. The third part discusses specific Behavioral phenomena, their ramifications for legal policymaking, and their reflection in extant law. Finally, the fourth part analyzes the contribution of Behavioral Economics to fifteen legal spheres ranging from core doctrinal areas such as contracts, torts and property to areas such as taxation and antitrust policy.
