Abstract
:
"This book presents a discussion of modern economic analyses of deception in markets. On the one hand, contributors emphasize conceptual strengths and limits of the concept of rationality when applied to deception, and, on the other hand, they focus on human behavior. Incentives to deceive as well as experimental and empirical evidence of deceptive behavior are highlighted and discussed in the context of economic theory and policy issues."--BOOK JACKET.
