Homo Economicus:  Why are new year’s resolutions so difficult to maintain and economic models so bad at predicting our behaviour?

Author: Antonia T. Schröder

Review: Prof. Dollie Davis

 

Abstract:

Have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to follow through on new year’s resolutions, such as to exercise more or to start saving more money towards retirement? The agent that most traditional economic models are based on would not struggle to keep up these resolutions. These agents are referred to as homo economicus.

„Warum sagt einem das niemand?“ Pluralität und Reflexivität für die schulische (sozio-)ökonomische Bildung
Analog zur Bezugswissenschaft Ökonomik stellt sich auch in der universitären (sozio-)ökonomischen Lehrerbildung die Frage einer gelingenden Umsetzung und Etablierung von pluraler Ökonomik und epistemologischer Reflexion.
