Economics and psychology in the twenty-first century

Peter Earl

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 2005, vol. 29, issue 6, 909-926

Abstract: This paper begins by exploring four different possible forms of relationship between economics and psychology, which have different connotations in terms of the relative status of the two disciplines. It then focuses on the future for one of these, psychological economics. After setting out the hardcore axioms and positive and negative heuristics of a research programme in psychological economics, it explores institutional and psychological barriers to the success of such a research programme in the context of both research and teaching.
