2001年美国经济学联合会将两年一度的克拉克奖颁给了加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的经济学教授现年37岁的经济学家马修·拉宾。这是第一位研究行为经济学的经济学家获得这一奖项。拉宾的研究主要是以实际调查为根据,对在不同环境中观察到的人的行为进行比较,然后加以概括并得出结论。他的研究更重视人的因素,分析研究经济活动中有关心理上的前提条件,例如人们在做经济决策时的动机、态度和期望等,从而将心理学和其他社会科学的研究成果融入到传统主流经济理论中去,以探索现存经济模型中的错误或遗漏,并修正传统主流经济学关于人的理性、自利、完全信息、效用最大化及持续性偏好等基本假设的不足。
In 2001, the Federation of American Economics awarded the biennial Clarke Prize to Matthew Rabin, a 37-year-old economist who is professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley. This is the first economist to study behavioral economics to receive this award. Rabin’s research is mainly based on the actual investigation, comparing human behavior observed in different environments, and then summarizing and drawing conclusions. His research places more emphasis on human factors, analyzing and analyzing psychological prerequisites in economic activities such as motivations, attitudes and expectations as people make economic decisions so as to integrate the findings of psychology and other social sciences into the tradition Mainstream economic theory to explore the errors or omissions in existing economic models and to correct the shortcomings of traditional mainstream economics such as the basic assumptions about human reason, self-interest, complete information, utility maximization and persistence preferences.
