Abstract

In exploring the realm of behavioral economics, we find that traditional economic theories often overlook the intricacies of human psychology. Behavioral economics can be perceived as a compelling intersection of psychology and traditional economics. Rather than always acting rationally, individuals are influenced by cognitive biases, heuristics, and framing effects. These insights from behavioral economics have broad applications, spanning from personal finance to comprehensive public policies. Policymakers and economists alike now integrate behavioral perspectives to design more effective interventions. By recognizing human tendencies, we can nudge individuals towards better decisions, thereby enhancing societal welfare. Examples of such applications include reframing retirement savings options, devising strategies for improved tax compliance, and crafting initiatives to decrease energy consumption. Through these insights, we emphasize the potential of behavioral economics to craft a more informed and efficient approach to addressing economic challenges. Behavioral economics has a transformative power that goes beyond traditional economic frameworks. By merging psychological insights with economic principles, we gain a multifaceted perspective that enables us to navigate these complexities more adeptly.
