Behavioral Economics

Description of Behavioral Economics
A field of economics that studies how the actual decision-making process influences the decisions that are reached.

Notes:

1) Are the assumptions of utility or profit maximization good approximations of real behavior?
2) Do individuals maximize subjective expected utility
