According to conventional economic theory, individuals decide rationally after carefully weighing the advantages and disadvantages of all available possibilities. Behavioural economics recognises that people's judgments are influenced by their emotions, the world around them, and other factors. By incorporating theories from various disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, politics, neuroscience, and others, behavioural economics complements traditional economics and helps paint a more accurate picture of the economy.
