Richard Thaler, an American whose studies have contributed in leaps and bounds in the field of human behavior, has received the Nobel Prize in Economics for his study on behavior regarding buying and selling products. He argued that human behavior tends to stand "irrationally predictable". His strides in the field of study have earned him over $1 million in prize money.
I find it quite ironic that he received such a large sum of money for his leaps and bounds within the study of economic sciences; I wonder if his studies on human behavior have found him as an exception or a generality. I do find the findings quite interesting, however; it's something I would like to explore upon in the near future.
