ABOUT MATTHEW'S WORK
Matthew Rabin integrates psychology and economics to offer new perspectives on such phenomena as group behavior and addiction.
Rabin has demonstrated particular strength in distilling from psychological research those insights that can be modeled mathematically. His recent work develops economic models that incorporate important aspects of the psychology of choice behavior in such phenomena as procrastination, addiction, and saving for retirement. The enhanced realism of the resulting mathematical models also provides more potent tools for developing public policy. He is at work on a book intended to serve as an economist's guide to psychology.
