# Behavioral Economics Guide
Conduct behavioral economics research using experimental methods, prospect theory, nudge frameworks, and key empirical tools for studying decision-making under bounded rationality.
## Core Theoretical Frameworks
### Prospect Theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979)
People evaluate outcomes relative to a reference point, with losses looming larger than equivalent gains:
```
Key features:
1. Reference dependence: Utility is defined over gains and losses, not absolute wealth
2. Loss aversion: lambda ≈ 2.25 (losses hurt ~2.25x more than equivalent gains)
