近些年来,我们已经看到沿着经济学与心理学的边缘进行的新的重要探索。在经济学家看来,当前的问题在于,这些研究结果是否包括心理学上那些能够有效地应用于经济学的新进展。而心理学家也会提出相反的问题,即在经济理论和观察结果方面的新进展中,有否对心理学核心有影响的内容。假如经济学能发现人类经济行为可验证的和已被验证的普遍规律,那末这些普遍规律必然在更为一般的人类行为理论中占有心理学和社会学所追求的地位。
In recent years we have seen new and important explorations along the margins of economics and psychology. The current issue for economists is whether these findings include new developments in psychology that can be effectively applied to economics. Psychologists, on the other hand, ask the opposite question whether there is any element that has an impact on the core of psychology in the new developments in economic theory and observation. If economics can find a universal law verifiable and validated of human economic behavior, then these universal laws inevitably occupy the position sought by psychology and sociology in the more general theory of human behavior.
