诺贝尔经济奖 (2017-10-09 12:25)

 今年的得主是Richard H. Thaler，我还感觉有点小激动，因为就在前一阵子读过他的nudge。是一本需要反复去读的书。
他推荐的六本书：
This report was first published on July 5, 2016 and has been updated.

Richard Thaler, who has just been awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences, is considered one of the founding fathers of behavioral economics. When the University of Chicago professor sat down with MarketWatch to talk about his own research, why humans don’t behave the way economists say they should and his book “Misbehaving,” we asked him for reading recommendations.

Here are his suggestions:

“Pre-Suasion” by Robert Cialdini, which comes out in September. Cialdini’s last book, “Influence,” was published in 1984, and Thaler says he’s read an early version of this one. “He’s the most practical psychologist on Earth,” Thaler says of Cialdini.

已经在图书馆借阅，期待中。

“Thinking, Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman. Thaler calls Kahneman, a fellow University of Chicago professor, one of his mentors and this book a “natural companion to ‘Misbehaving.’ ” Thaler has his own Kahneman story, of when Kahneman was asked about Thaler and called “lazy” his best attribute. (Thaler pleads guilty to laziness but questions whether that should top the list.)
不算看过，已经买了一本放在书架上。听过前1/3的内容。

“The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds” by Michael Lewis, which will be published in December. It’s about Kahneman and Amos Tversky, who together created the field of behavioral economics. “It’s a book I’m looking forward to reading,” he says. (Thaler made a cameo appearance in the movie version of Lewis’ “The Big Short.”)
听过，但是发觉non-fiction的书还是应该拿着书本看，并且做笔记。

“Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die” by Chip Heath and Dan Heath. Thaler recommends starting with this book and then moving on to their other two, “Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard” and “Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work.” “They’re very practical books about how to apply behavioral science,” he says.
都看过。但是得回去看笔记。

Behavioral finance和Social Psychology是我非常感兴趣的内容。所以喜欢听"Hidden Brain"和"Invisiabilia"的podcast.
