Edge Behavioural Economics

Thanks to Steve Kinsella for updating me on all the useful things on the EDGE website below. The site includes video lectures from people like Daniel Kahneman, Richard Thaler, Sendhil Mullainthan and others

here

Thaler talks about potential innovations that behavioural economics thinking could bring to finance. Mullainathan talks about behavioural economics in the context of poverty giving examples from experimental work he is doing. Kahneman gives a complex talk about associationism and priming including talking about the role of priming below the level of consciousness.
