The Importance of Understanding Complex People's Reasoning and Motivation
J-PAL stands for the Abdul Latif Jamil Poverty Action Lab. It was set up in 2003 and its work has ensured that thousands of interventions to help the world's poorest people are supported by rigorous scientific evidence. Is there something where it's important for economists to learn from other disciplines as well, psychologists, sociologists? Yes I think there has been a very fruitful collaboration between economics and psychology which started more with social psychology but moved on to also collaborate with cognitive psychologists.
