Günter Schmölders and Economic Psychology: an Introduction

Björn Frank and Erich Kirchler

Chapter 1 in The Psychology of Money and Public Finance, 2006, pp 1-16 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Günter Schmölders (1903–91) is one of the major figures in German post-war economics. Despite his fruitful influence on economics, behavioural economics and economic psychology in German-speaking countries, his scientific œuvre is largely unknown outside Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Most of his publications are available only in German, unavailable for many colleagues working in the fields of economics and psychology. This volume aims to overcome that barrier by presenting a selection of representative publications in English, enabling a wider international audience to have access, for the first time, to Günter Schmölders’ pioneering and seminal work.
