批判性评述神经经济学、行为经济学和微观经济学在英美公共政策与商业中的应用，指出其对理解人类理性的影响，并呼吁经济地理学深入审视这些新经济知识、方法和主体。
Neuroeconomics, behavioural economics and picoeconomics have recently come to widespread popular attention, informing both public policy and commercial applications in UK and USA in particular. From neuroeducation and neuromarketing to so-called ‘nudge’-inspired public policies, the resurgence of broadly behavioural accounts of economic theory has far-reaching consequences for how we both understand and intervene in human rationality. While economic geographers have long been engaged with behavioural concerns, the economic foundations of more recent ‘behaviour change’ initiatives remain to be fully interrogated. This article provides a critical review of these developments in economics and outlines concerns posed for a geographical analysis of new economic knowledges, methods and subjects.
