Richard Thaler studies behavioural economics and finance as well as the psychology of decision-making. He investigates the implications of relaxing the standard assumption that everyone in the economy is rational and selfish, entertaining the possibility that some are human.
"We all need a lot of humility especially about the economy"
Richard, who is considered the "father of behavioural economics," recently received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science for his work on integrating economics with psychology. His research has helped economists understand that "human behaviour often contradicts traditional economic logic". By exploring the consequences of limited rationality, social preferences, and lack of self-control, he has shown how these human traits systematically affect individual decisions as well as market outcomes. Richard is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Fellow of the American Finance Association and the Econometrics Society, and in 2015 served as the President of the American Economic Association.
