Most Popular Books by Richard H. Thaler

Richard H. Thaler dedicou a sua carreira ao estudo de uma noção que parece radical: os agentes centrais da Economia são os seres humanos, ou seja, pessoas previsíveis e propensas a erros. Mau Comportamento é, neste sentido, uma tentativa séria de recuperar uma disciplina académica que deve ter os pés assentes na terra para mudar o modo como pensamos acerca de Economia, de nós próprios e do mundo. A Economia tradicional é feita de intervenientes racionais. No início de sua carreira, porém, Thaler demonstrou que não agimos como se fôssemos seres de razão, uma vez que nos assemelhamos mais a uma espécie de autómatos quando fazemos coisas tão simples como comprar um relógio, vender bilhetes para um espetáculo ao qual não podemos assistir, efetuar uma hipoteca e tantas outras situações recorrentes. Por norma, sucumbimos aos preconceitos e tomamos decisões que se afastam da racionalidade e da razoabilidade. Por outras palavras, temos um mau comportamento e essa atuação desviante tem consequências graves. Reunindo descobertas recentes da Psicologia humana com uma compreensão prática de incentivos de mercado e de comportamento, Thaler ilumina os leitores relativamente à tomada de decisões mais inteligentes num mundo cada vez mais incompreensível. Assim, revela-nos como a análise económica comportamental abre novas formas de olharmos para o mundo em questões tão díspares como a vida doméstica, o modo como vemos televisão, abrimos um escritório novo, concebemos projetos pessoais ou profissionais e até como criamos negócios alternativos semelhantes à Uber.

Everything from the order of items on a menu to the way products are arranged on a shelf can change the way we make choices.

Sinopsis Terawangan nakal namun mencerahkan mengenai aneka kekurangan manusia. Ekonomi tradisional menganggap kekuatan rasional mengatur segalanya. Ekonomi perilaku tahu cerita sebenarnya. Richard Thaler telah menghabiskan kariernya mempelajari gagasan bahwa manusia adalah pusat ekonomi—dan bahwa kita tempatnya kesalahan. Ekonomi perilaku kini amat berpengaruh, bukan hanya mengubah cara kita berpikir mengenai uang, melainkan juga diri kita sendiri, dunia kita, dan segala jenis keputusan sehari-hari. Entah itu ketika membeli jam tangan, menjual tiket, atau mengajukan KPR, kita semua mengalami bias dan membuat keputusan yang menyimpang dari standar rasionalitas yang dipakai ahli ekonomi. Dengan kata lain, kita berperilaku keliru. Meski awalnya diremehkan oleh para ahli ekonomi, studi kekeliruan manusia dan pengaruhnya kepada pasar kini mendorong upaya membuat keputusan lebih baik dalam kehidupan, bisnis, dan pemerintahan. Dengan memadukan penemuan terbaru psikologi manusia dan pemahaman praktis mengenai insentif dan perilaku pasar, Thaler memberi pencerahan mengenai bagaimana membuat keputusan lebih cerdas dalam dunia yang semakin membingungkan. Dia mengungkap bagaimana analisis ekonomi perilaku membuka cara-cara baru memandang segalanya, dari keuangan rumah tangga sampai pembagian kantor di gedung baru, acara kuis TV, musim transfer olahraga, dan bisnis seperti Uber. Ketika ekonomi bertemu psikologi, dampaknya bagi individu, manajer, dan pembuat kebijakan sungguh mendalam sekaligus menarik. • • • "Jenius kreatif pencipta bidang ekonomi perilaku yang juga jago bercerita dan sangat lucu.

Behavioral Economics is the combination of psychology and economics that investigates what happens in markets in which some of the agents display human limitations and complications. We begin with a preliminary question about relevance. Does some combination of market forces, learning and evolution render these human qualities irrelevant? No. Because of limits of arbitrage less than perfect agents survive and influence market outcomes. We then discuss three important ways in which humans deviate from the standard economic model. Bounded rationality reflects the limited cognitive abilities that constrain human problem solving. Bounded willpower captures the fact that people sometimes make choices that are not in their long-run interest. Bounded self-interest incorporates the comforting fact that humans are often willing to sacrifice their own interests to help others. We then illustrate how these concepts can be applied in two settings: finance and savings. Financial markets have greater arbitrage opportunities than other markets, so behavioral factors might be thought to be less important here, but we show that even here the limits of arbitrage create anomalies that the psychology of decision making helps explain. Since saving for retirement requires both complex calculations and willpower, behavioral factors are essential elements of any complete descriptive theory

Decision makers do not make choices in a vacuum. They make them in an environment where many features, noticed and unnoticed, can influence their decisions. The person who creates that environment is, in our terminology, a choice architect. In this paper we analyze some of the tools that are available to choice architects. Our goal is to show how choice architecture can be used to help nudge people to make better choices (as judged by themselves) without forcing certain outcomes upon anyone, a philosophy we call libertarian paternalism. The tools we highlight are: defaults, expecting error, understanding mappings, giving feedback, structuring complex choices, and creating incentives.
