Neuroeconomics combines neuroscience, economics, and psychology to study how we make choices. Specifically it looks at the role of the brain when we make decisions, categorize risks and rewards, and interact with each other. Jedediah Purdy of Duke University School of Law has posted The Promise (and Limits) of Neuroeconomics to SSRN.
