该文件概述和评估了关于贫穷的心理学和行为经济学的新文献。我们特别强调贫穷经验、邻里的作用、贫穷动态和传播、儿童贫穷和残疾以及个人财务。此外，我们考虑心理学和政策的反应，通过寻找和自主权和授权，以及减贫计划。我们的中心论点是，心理学和相关社会科学中的个人经验，认知和社会因素的详细知识补充了传统经济学对结构性因素和政策工具的强调，其方式是行为经济学新兴工作的例证。我们的结论是，越来越多的人认识到，减贫政策的行为的见解，因此，可能会更有效。(C)出版社：Elsevier B.V.
The paper provides an overview and assessment of an emerging literature on the psychology and behavioural economics of poverty. We particularly highlight poverty experiences, role of neighbourhoods, poverty dynamics and transmission, child poverty and disability and personal finance. In addition we consider psychology and policy responses by looking and autonomy and empowerment, and poverty reduction programs. Our central thesis is that the detailed knowledge of individual experiences, cognitions and social factors in psychology and related social science complements the traditional economic emphasis on structural factors and policy instruments in a way that is exemplified by emerging work in behavioural economics. We conclude it is increasingly recognised that poverty reduction policies which are informed by behavioural insights may, as a result, be more effective. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
