www.ebook3000.com Cognitive Processes and Economic Behaviour There has been a marked increase in debate surrounding the issue of the cognitive foundations of economic behaviour 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 contains contributions from leading scholars in their respective fields Themes covered range from behavioural finance to neuroscience Under the impressive editorship of Dimitri, Basili and Gilboa, this book will be of benefit to all those interested in the 'intersection between cognitive sciences and economics as well as economic theorists Nicola Dimitri is Professor of Political Economy at the University of Siena, Italy Marcello Basili is Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Siena, Italy Itzhak Gilboa is Professor of Economics at Tel Aviv University, Israel, and Fellow of the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University, US www.ebook3000.com Routledge Siena Studies in Political Economy The Siena Summer School hosts lectures by distinguished scholars on topics characterized by a lively research activity The lectures collected in this series offer a clear account of the alternative research paths that characterize a certain field Different publishers printed former workshops of the School They include: Macroeconomics A survey of research strategies Edited by Alessandro Vercelli and Nicola Dimitri Oxford University Press, 1992 Intemational Problems of Economic Interdependence Edited by Massimo Di Matteo, Mario Baldassarri and Robert Mundell Macmillan, 1994 Ethics, Rationality and Economic Behaviour Edited by Francesco Farina, Frank Hahn and Stefano Vannucci Clarendon Press, 1996 The Politics and Economics of Power Edited by Samuel Bowles, Maurizio Franzini and Ugo Pagano Routledge, 1998 The Evolution of Economic Diversity Edited by Antonio Nicita and Ugo Pagano Routledge, 2000 Cycles, Growth and Structural Change Theories and empirical evidence Edited by Lionello F Punzo Routledge, 2001 General Equilibrium Edited by Fabio Petri and Frank Hahn Routledge, 2002 Cognitive Processes and Economic Behaviour Edited by Nicola Dimitri, Marcello Basili and Itzhak Gilboa Routledge, 2003 www.ebook3000.com Cognitive Processes and Economic Behaviour Edited by Nicola Dimitri, Marcello Basili and Itzhak Gilboa I~ ~~o~;~;~~;UP LONDON AND NEW YORK www.ebook3000.com First published 2003 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge 29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint ofthe Taylor & Francis Group © 2003 editorial matter and selection, the editors;
