Is neuroeconomics a flimsy fad likely to pass without leaving a
discernible trace in economics? Or is it a promising new field with
the potential to enrich and improve economic theory? Neuroeconomics
brings together a unique mix of perspectives ranging from
philosophy of science to neuroeconomics practice to reflect on the
promises and limitations of neuroeconomics for the future of
economics. The analyses collected in the volume suggest that
although neuroeconomics raises methodological worries that ought to
be dealt with, it might contribute to economics in various ways,
some perhaps more promising than others. One thing comes out
clearly, though: a complete insulation of economics from
neuroscience and psychology is likely to do economics more harm
than good.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Journal
of Economic Methodology.
