Summary

There has been a marked increase in debte surrounding the issue of the cognitive foundations of economic behavior in recent years. This debate seeks to explain the determinants of a variety of activities such as forecasting economic variables, perception and decision under uncertainty and communication in interactive contexts. This volume, containing contributions from such respected scholars as Patrick Suppes, Michael Bacharach and Adam Brandenburger, critically analyses recent advances in the discipline. Themes covered inclue: * behavior and decision-making in financial markets * epistemology and learning in games * language as a cognitive ability The book, under the impressive editorship of Dimitri, Basili and Gilboa, will be of great interest to all those interested in the intersection between psychology and economics as well as many other economic theorists.
