Language, behavior, and economics
The aim of the workshop is to critically investigate some models of agents and economic behaviour, starting from the most recent economic theories. In this regard, a historical-theoretical investigation of some key notions used in economics ("identity", "preference", "choice", "behavior") and of the connections between philosophy, psychology and economics will be addressed.
