Albert O. Hirschman on Behavioral Economics - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 526
Behavioural Economics/Hirschman: long before modern behavioural economics came onto the scene, Albert O. Hirschman formulated terms that can be used in discussions today.
>Terminology/Hirschman
: migration, conflict, loyalty. See also Conflicts/Hirschman.
For example, emigration of consumers, party members, voters: loyalty delays emigration and makes return more difficult. (1)
Example: from the difficult entry into an organization follows a tendency to self-deception about the true quality of the referred achievement.
Homo oeconomicus/HirschmanVsTradition: this term dissolves under Hirschman's analyses. He is replaced by the actor whose behaviour is changeable.
Brocker I 527
Panther: for a theory of rational action, this is hard to digest.
