The science of economic mental life and behavior is increasingly relevant as people are expected to take more responsibility for their household and personal economic decisions.

Economic Psychology examines the central aspects of adult decision making in everyday life and includes the theories of economic decision making based on risk, value and affect, and theories of intertemporal choice. The text reviews the nature and behavioral consequences of economic mental representations about such things as material possessions, money and the economy.  The editor Robert Ranyard—a noted expert on economic psychology—presents a life-span developmental approach, from childhood to old age.
