The Id and the Nudge: Where Freud Meets Behavioral Economics

By Briana Last, Psyche

University of Penn Doctoral Candidate Briana Last authors this article which elaborates on the relationship between psychoanalysis and behavioral economics. Whereas it may be tempting to assume the work of psychoanalysis (beginning with Dr. Freud himself) and that of behavioral economics occupy totally opposite spaces in the field, Ms. Last draws our attention to the ways this may not be true.
