What do behavioral economics and neuroeconomics seek to achieve?

What will be an ideal response?


Behavioral economics and neuroeconomics seek to explain why we do not always make rational economic decisions. Behavioral economists study how the bounded limitations they study affect people's decisions so that not all decisions are the consequence of rational behavior. Neuroeconomists study how the brain works to make decisions so that neuroeconomists have a better understanding of the decisions people make.
