Predictably irrational
Predictably Irrational is a website that accompanies the book of the same title written by Dan Ariely, a Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke and MIT. It is an "attempt to take research findings in behavioral economics and describe them in non academic terms so that more people will learn about this type of research, discover the excitement of this field, and possibly use some of the insights to enrich their own lives". The website includes videos supporting each chapter on topics such as, the fallacy of supply and demand, the effect of expectations and the power of price. The site also includes links to a large selection of academic papers on behavioural economics that detail the research that the book is based upon, a blog that relates subjects in the book to topical events, test yourself exercises / visual illusions and selected chapter excerpts.
