William Shakespeare, Behavioral Economist

Every year when I teach Behavioral Economics & Policy, around the time of Shakespeare's birthday (April 23 is the conventional date) I provide a handout entitled, yes, William Shakespeare, Behavioral Economist. The current version is some 11 pages long, and I thought that I would reproduce that handout (and augment it) in a series of posts here on Behavioral Economics Outlines. These posts will not consist of outlines, alas; rather, they will be Shakespeare quotes, generally taken from Open Source Shakespeare. The title William Shakespeare, Behavioral Economist, pays homage to Nava Ashraf, Colin F. Camerer, and George Loewenstein, “Adam Smith, Behavioral Economist,” Journal of Economic Perspectives 19(3): 131–145, 2005.
