Experimental economics and neuroeconomics are likely to provide new insights on the individual and sub-individual (neurobiological processes) anchoring of money illusion. In particular, some recent brain studies show that we appear more "motivated" and "rewarded" by nominal rather than real...

In this article, we focus on two types of "aversion" which we deem essential aspects of the notion of trust: betrayal aversion (social) and ambiguity aversion (a special case of aversion to uncertainty). Based on trust-games studies in experimental economics and neuroeconomics, our main goal is...

Neuroeconomics is a recent extension of behavioral economics which aims at uncovering the brain mechanisms and activities that mediate regular and anomalous behaviour. Gul and Pesendorfer (2005) have launched a critique against the neuroeconomic research program, based on what they argue is the...

Although economics has long been considered as a non-experimental science, the development of experimental economics and behavioral economics is amazingly rapid and affects most fields of research. This paper first attempts at defining the main contributions of experiments to economics. It also...

Neuroeconomics is an emerging field crossing neuroscientific data, the use of brain-imaging tools, experimental and behavioral economics, and an attempt at a better understanding of the cognitive assumptions that underlie theoretical predictive economic models. In this paper the authors try two...

Un processus d'intériorisation du modèle de marché semble bien à l'oeuvre, repérable dans les modalités de l'articulation entre les comportements et pratiques et l'organisation du social. Il s'agit de prendre la mesure de l'emprise de cette logique marchande et de comprendre par quels...
