Abstract
Behavioral-economics insights largely derive from laboratory experiments, and critics of this relatively new sub-discipline of economics therefore doubt its applicability in the real world. Martijn van den Assem studies economic behavior in the wild, using real-life settings that have attractive features from a research perspective. One such setting is provided by some TV game shows.
