Daniel Kahneman on Behavioral Economics - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 63f Rational-Choice/Behavioral Economics/Kahneman: An economic theory that follows the rational choice approach needs fewer axioms. Such a theory is simpler overall. However, new theoretical building blocks are always needed in order to better explain lifeworld situations. This path is followed by Behavioral Economics, which empirically analyses systematic cognitive bias in the processing of information (Kahneman 2012 (1); Camerer et al. 2003 (2); State of research: (3)(4) Rational Choice/New Development: the theory has been reinterpreted as a normative theory, because it tells us how to behave if we want to maximize our benefits. Thus it is no longer tautological like the descriptive variant. >VsRational Choice. Politics: The idea that both parties and voters are benefit maximizing and democracy has no intrinsic value is one of the central assumptions of (almost) all rational-choice-inspired democracy theories and election analyses. 1.
