Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘As always, Sunstein's Advanced Introduction is a pleasure to read. This highly informative book is particularly helpful to those interested in law and public policy. Drawing on his deep and extensive work in behavioral law and economics, Sunstein covers much ground in short order. The book introduces readers to both foundational topics and current debates at the frontiers of this burgeoning field of research and policy.’ -- Avishalom Tor, Notre Dame Law School, US
‘I love this terrific book. The science of how humans think meets the laws that govern how humans should act – and who better than Sunstein to teach us what happens when these worlds collide!’ -- Anupam B. Jena, Harvard University, US
‘To develop policies that improve on society, we need to consider how people behave, both in the absence and presence of policies. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in public policy and how insights about human behavior may inform policy making. Cass Sunstein’s experiences and extensive expertise in both law making and behavioral economics make him uniquely positioned to provide key insights on the intersection of law and behavioral economics.’ -- Linda Thunström, University of Wyoming, US
‘In this book Professor Sunstein summarizes an enormous body of research showing how law affects human behavior. He carefully reviews research from behavioral economics and psychology, provides clever examples, and melds these insights with conventional economics, thereby suggesting ways to make legal systems more efficient—and even more fair.’ -- Jeffrey J. Rachlinski, Cornell Law School, US
