Hey there podcast listeners, how do you feel about behavioral economics?

Since you are a Frickonomics radio listener, you're probably a little bit interested, and

we've done several episodes on the topic over the years.

The man generally considered to be the founder of Behavioral Economics is Richard Thaler of

the University of Chicago.

He too has appeared in several episodes.

He's what you might call a friend of Frickonomics.

So guess what our friend recently did.

If you've got a question about behavioral economics per se, about what it's like to win

a Nobel, or just what it's like to be Richard Thaler, send it along.

Our email is radioatfreconomics.com.

Tell us your name, where you live, what you do.

If you'd prefer you can make an audio recording of your question, just use the voice memo app

on your phone and send the file to that same address, radioatfreconomics.com, and keep

your ears out for the Thaler episode in the near future.

Thanks.
