He is a former faculty director of the Center for Decision Research (CDR), a member of CDR's Board of Governors, and co-director (with Robert Shiller) of the Behavioural Economics Project at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Richard H. Thaler has been awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics by the Royal Swedish Academy for "contributions to behavioural economics".
Research
Thaler studies behavioural economics and finance, as well as the psychology of decision-making that lies in the gap between economics and psychology. His research suggests that decision-making is not always based on rational standards, but that psychological variables also play a role in deviating from rational economic behaviour.
