Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This ambitious book is the first to present a theoretical framework for a unified analysis of both behavioral and traditional economics. It explores the ultimate factors from an evolutionary perspective in addressing why humans are predictably irrational and proposes 'adaptive rationality,' a new direction for understanding human behavior.Taking anomalies in ultimatum game experiments as a starting point, this book presents findings from hundreds of experiments. The interdisciplinary nature of the book, which encompasses the latest research across an astonishingly wide range of fields-including game theory, psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, culturalanthropology, biology, and ethology-provides boundless intellectual excitement.While this is an academic book discussing human rationality, it can also be seen as a popular science book that delves deeply into questions such as 'What underlies human decision making ' The book stands out for its unique approach, making it an unparalleled reading experience.
