"Neuroeconomics is a timely collection of papers by leading researchers from both sides of the border between economics and neuroscience. The papers reflect a high level of focused communication between scholars in fields that until recently studied decision-making at different levels using different methods, with little fruitful interaction. The book should be of interest to anyone who would like to know how a deeper understanding of process can enrich and refine economic theories of decision-making; to anyone who would like to know how economic theory can inform research in neuroscience; or simply to anyone who has ever wondered about the mechanics of how decisions are made in the brain, and what it means about human nature."-Vince Crawford, Distinguished Professor of Economics, University of California, San Diego, USA Zusammenfassung Features five sections designed to serve as both classroom-friendly introductions to each of the major subareas in neuroeconomics! and as advanced synopses of all that has been accomplished over the years in this rapidly expanding academic discipline.
