Reviews
'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
'Neuroeconomics: Decision Making and the Brain is a landmark publication in the rapidly expanding field
of neuroeconomics. The list of contributors is exceptional. The content is completely up to date and forward looking. For
the foreseeable future, this will be the standard reference for newcomers and experienced researchers alike.' – David Laibson, Professor
of Economics, Harvard University, USA
'Economists pride themselves of rigorous parsimony. By taking the neural correlates
of behavior into account, potentially explanatory variables explode. This book shows when digging deeper nonetheless pays for economics,
and how to do it well.' - Christoph Engel, Director, Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods, Bonn, Germany
'This collection of chapters on neuroeconomics provides an integrated introduction to how brains compute value, make choices, interact
socially and collectively create economics. Neuroeconomics is also a fascinating story of how a new paradigm emerged from the collision
of two parent disciplines and is continuing to evolve in often surprising directions.' - Terrence Sejnowski, Professor and Director,
Computational Neurobiology Laboratory, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, University of California,
San Diego, USA
'For those onlookers who can't quite accept that neuroscience may provide insight into how we decide what
course of action to follow, the contributors to this comprehensive volume offer some very compelling, and very serious experimental and
theoretical insights. Highly recommended, and enormously provocative.' - Floyd Bloom, Professor Emeritus, Molecular and Integrative Neuroscience
Department, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, USA
'Paul Glimcher is one of the founders of and most distinguished
contributors to the emerging science of neuroeconomics. He has edited a volume that offers a clear view into the brains of some of the
field's most active investigators.' – Alvin E. Roth, George Gund Professor of Economics and Business Administration, Harvard University,
USA
