We engage in an extensive survey of the literature that focuses on the actual practice of “behavioral development economics and behavioral economics view of poverty” that emerged in the early years of the 21st century in order to identify and discuss some directions and implications that this movement might carry for economics science and art of Economics.

Behavioral Economics and its empirical applications have gained its momentum at the end of the 20th century (Angner and Loewenstein, 2012; Heukelom, 2013)

It aims to provide an interpretation of why behavioral economics has come into the complex field of development economics informed by economic methodology
