Handbook of Contemporary Behavioral Economics
At a time when both scholars and the public demand explanations and answers to key economic problems that conventional approaches have failed to resolve, this groundbreaking handbook of original works by leading behavioral economists offers the first comprehensive articulation of behavioral economics theory. Borrowing from the findings of psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, legal scholars, and biologists, among others, behavioral economists find that intelligent individuals often tend not to behave as effectively or efficiently in their economic decisions as long held by conventional wisdom. The manner in which individuals actually do behave critically depends on psychological, institutional, cultural, and even biological considerations. "Handbook of Contemporary Behavioral Economics" includes coverage of such critical areas as the Economic Agent, Context and Modeling, Decision Making, Experiments and Implications, Labor Issues, Household and Family Issues, Life and Death, Taxation, Ethical Investment and Tipping, and Behavioral Law and Macroeconomics. Each contribution includes an extensive bibliography.
Webley Air Pistols
Despite a long history of involvement in the design and production of firearms, the Birmingham firm of Webley & Scott is probably better known to the general public for its manufacture of airguns than for any other product. Until now, there has been no published reference that concentrates exclusively on the history and development of Webley air pistols. This book has been prepared to offer a comprehensive guide for all those interested in the subject and who appreciate the traditional British craftsmanship entailed. It embraces all models based upon the same initial patent, which were produced between the years 1924 and 1999, commencing with the original 'Mark 1' and progressing through twelve other models to the final 'Webley Tempest' introduced more than half a century later. In addition to the pistols themselves, there are sections of the book relating to pellet styles and various shooting accessories produced by the same company. The whole work is divided into twenty-two sections, the text being accompanied throughout with 226 original photographs and over 70 line illustrations, each of which has been prepared by the author.
Geld und Lebensgeschichte
Der nachhaltige Umgang mit Geld gilt als Schlüsselkompetenz und als kulturelle Technik. Birgit Happel betrachtet die Themen Geld und Lebensgeschichte aus einer biografieanalytischen Perspektive. Sie zeichnet ein differenziertes Bild übergeordneter Werte des täglichen ökonomischen Handelns und begreift den Umgang mit Geld als ein relevantes Kriterium biografischer Weichenstellungen. Die Untersuchung stellt zudem Divergenzen zwischen monetären Anforderungs- und Möglichkeitsstrukturen auf den Prüfstand, die in besonderer Weise von Armut gefährdete Gruppen treffen.
Kartengestützte Zahlungssysteme und Konsumentenverhalten
Kartengestützte Zahlungssysteme wie Kreditkarten, Kundenkarten, Electronic Cash und elektronische Geldbörse ersetzen zunehmend das klassische Bargeld in unserer Geldwirtschaft. Der Schwerpunkt der gegenwärtigen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten auf diesem Gebiet konzentriert sich auf die wirtschaftlichen und technologischen Fragen. Die Berücksichtigung der sozialen und psychischen Aspekte, die sich für die Verbraucher aus dieser Entwicklung ergeben, finden dagegen kaum Beachtung. Dazu gehören u. a. Fragen der Auswirkung auf das Konsumverhalten, der Verschuldung, des Datenschutzes, des Kontrollverlustes im Umgang mit Geld und der Einstellung zu spezifischen Geldformen. Die vorliegende Untersu...
Real-World Decision Making
The first and only encyclopedia to focus on the economic and financial behaviors of consumers, investors, and organizations, including an exploration of how people make good—and bad—economic decisions. Traditional economic theories speculate how and when people should spend money. But consumers don't always behave as expected and often adopt strategies that might appear unorthodox yet are, at times, more effective than the rule prescribed by conventional wisdom. This groundbreaking text examines the ways in which people make financial decisions, whether it is because they are smart but atypical in their choices ... or just irrational decision makers. A leading authority on behavioral eco...
