ABSTRACT

The rise of behavioral economics since the 1980s led to richer mutual influence between economic and psychological theory and experimentation. However, as behavioral economics has become increasingly integrated into the main stream in economics, and as psychology has remained damagingly methodologically conservative, this convergence has recently gone into reverse. At the same time, growing appreciation among economists of the limitations of atomistic individualism, along with advantages in econometric modeling flexibility by comparison with psychometrics, is leading economists to become more pluralistic than psychologists about the ontology of behavioral causation and structures. This, combined with economists’ growing interest in network models, is drawing economists closer in theory and practice to sociologists who use quantitative or mixed methods.

20世纪80年代以来行为经济学的兴起使得经济与心理学理论和实验之间的相互影响更加丰富。然而，随着行为经济学越来越融入经济学的主流，并且心理学在方法论上仍然保持破坏性的保守，这种趋同最近发生了逆转。与此同时，经济学家越来越认识到原子论个人主义的局限性，以及与心理计量学相比计量经济学建模灵活性的优势，导致经济学家在行为因果关系和结构的本体论方面变得比心理学家更加多元化。再加上经济学家对网络模型日益增长的兴趣，
