What information was provided concerning the application of behavioral economics in business and government?
Behavioral economics is a relatively new field that attempts to explain behavioral biases that the standard economic theory could not explain. Behavioral economics assumes that consumers are often irrational due to limited cognitive capability and therefore often make choices that are not optimal. Behavioral economics also assumes that decision-making can be altered through intervention to help consumers optimize their choices. These assumptions support the idea that managerial decision-making often involves uncertainty.For this assignment, you will use the CSU Online Library (or another source) to locate an article on behavioral economics that is published in a peer-reviewed journal and write a critical review of the article.
