Contrariwise, behavioral economics holds that people act by behavioral rules of thumb, often with poor results. We propose a synthesis according to which people indeed act by rules, which usually work well; but in exceptional or contrived scenarios, may work poorly. The reason is that like physical features, behavioral rules have evolved; and evolution works on the usual, the common---not the exception, not the contrived scenario. The upshot is that on the whole, people act rationally.\u0026nbsp; The often-heard assertion that \u0026quot;people do not act as economists think\u0026quot; is simply unfounded.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBiography:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERobert Aumann was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 1930, to a well-to-do orthodox Jewish family.\u0026nbsp; Fleeing Nazi persecution, he emigrated to the United States with his family in 1938, settling in New York.\u0026nbsp; In the process, his parents lost everything, but nevertheless gave their two children an excellent Jewish and general education.\u0026nbsp; Aumann attended Yeshiva elementary and high schools, got a bachelor\u0026#39;s degree from the City College of New York in 1950, and a Ph.D. in mathematics from MIT in 1955.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nHe joined the mathematics department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1956, and has been there ever since.\u0026nbsp; In 1990, he was among the founders of the Center for Rationality at the Hebrew University, an interdisciplinary research center, centered on Game Theory, with members from over a dozen different departments, including Business, Economics, Psychology, Computer Science, Law, Mathematics, Ecology, Philosophy, and others.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAumann is the author of over ninety scientific papers and six \u0026nbsp;books, and has held visiting positions at Princeton, Yale, Berkeley, \u0026nbsp;Louvain, Stanford, Stony Brook, and NYU.\u0026nbsp; He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences (USA), the British Academy, and the Israel Academy of Sciences; holds honorary doctorates from the Universities of Chicago, Bonn, Louvain, City University of New York, Bar Ilan University, and Ben Gurion University of the Negev; and has\u0026nbsp;received numerous prizes, including the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for 2005.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAumann is married and had five children (the oldest was killed in Lebanon in 1982).
