Identity Economics: How Our Identities Shape Our Work, Wages, and Well-BeingIdentity Economics provides an important and compelling new way to understand human behavior, revealing how our identities and not just economic incentives influence our decisions.

Identity Economics provides an important and compelling new way to understand human behavior, revealing how our identities--and not just economic incentives--influence our decisions. In 1995, economist Rachel Kranton wrote future Nobel Prize-winner George Akerlof a letter insisting that his most recent paper was wrong. Identity, she argued, was the missing element that would help to explain why people--facing the same economic circumstances--would make different choices. This was the beginning of a fourteen-year collaboration--and of Identity Economics.


The authors explain how our conception of who we are and who we want to be may shape our economic lives more than any other factor, affecting how hard we work, and how we learn, spend, and save. Identity economics is a new way to understand people's decisions--at work, at school, and at home. With it, we can better appreciate why incentives like stock options work or don't; why some schools succeed and others don't; why some cities and towns don't invest in their futures--and much, much more.

Identity Economics bridges a critical gap in the social sciences. It brings identity and norms to economics. People's notions of what is proper, and what is forbidden, and for whom, are fundamental to how hard they work, and how they learn, spend, and save. Thus people's identity--their conception of who they are, and of who they choose to be--may be the most important factor affecting their economic lives. And the limits placed by society on people's identity can also be crucial determinants of their economic well-being.

Perfect one!
Color: 1a. Clear, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
Awesome shower liner for a great price! This one is sturdy, washable, hangs nice, and easy to use. I like mine to be clear, so this one was perfect for me. It lets a lot of the bathroom light in. The clear color works for me. It has magnets at the bottom and does not blow in so much while you are showering. You can replace whenever you want or even wash it. The price is great, so it is up to you. Good purchase!

Worth it! Get it
Color: 1a. Clear, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this shower curtain liner, especially for the price. We have bad water; turns other liners a pinky orange color. This has not turned colors, thick material. And I love how it has magnets to keep it attached to the tub to avoid water getting out onto the floor
