Behavioural and Behavioral Economics tweets 
Sat 24 Mar-Fri 30 Mar 2012

The summary is posted weekly by People Patterns.  
This post contains a summary of tweets noted in the past week that mentioned behavioural/behavioral economics. Where possible, re-tweets h and tweets without links been removed to condense the list.


Overwhelmingly the most tweeted article of the week is from

"Nudge power. My latest for  on how behavioural economics is starting to improve society ".  If you ever doubted herding, just see the volume of retweets for an article that reaffirms the value of behavioural economics.  It makes me wonder though, whether the article was that great or whether it points to a field desperate for validation?  Perhaps by now articles like these should not be remarkable?
