タイトル(掲載誌)Discussion Papers In Economics And Business
一般注記This paper investigates the individual outcomes of irrational thinking, including paranormality and non-scientific thinking. These modes of thinking are identified by factor analysis from a 2008 survey. Income and happiness are used as measures of performance. Empirical results reveal that both paranormality and non-scientific thinking lower income. While non-scientific thinking lowers happiness, paranormality raises it. Extending the model, we find that higher ability results in higher income and happiness. Self-control only raises happiness. These results suggest that many elements of homo economicus, except paranormality and selfishness, raise economic performance and happiness.
