Earlier today, behavioural economics featured on the
Pat Kenny show (
there are some problems with this link) on
RTE Radio 1. I don't think the podcast is available yet, but details about the show are
available here. I happened to be listening earlier; the application of behavioural economics to consumer behaviour was the main theme. A talk by
David Laibson from earlier this week in Brussels (who also spoke in UCD this week) was mentioned, as was a talk by
Cass Sunstein.
Behavioural economics on the Pat Kenny show: what next Joe Duffy on semi-parametric sample selection models?

ReplyDeleteI think thats fair criticism. In the same circumstances though I find switching to BHHH often deals well with difficult likelihood functions.
