This article builds the argument that Bourdieu’s dispositional theory of practice can help integrate the sociological tradition with three prominent strands of behavioral economics: bounded rationality, prospect theory, and time inconsistency. I make the case that the habitus provides an alternative framework to show how social and mental structure constitute one another, where cognitive tendencies toward irrationality can be either curtailed or amplified based on one’s position in the economic field and a person’s corresponding set of dispositions, ranging from more rational doxic dispositions to irrational allodoxic tendencies. Bridging economic sociology and behavioral economics, this work also bears on issues of persistent financial inequality reproduced through self-defeating patterns of economic behavior inculcated into individuals who occupy dominated positions in the social structure. Bourdieu’s thought, and in particular his conception of field+habitus, can usefully be applied to the empirical findings of behavioral economics to understand deviations from rational action as not only cognitive but also socially structured.

布尔迪厄的行为经济学

本文提出这样一种论点，即布迪厄的实践性理论可以帮助将社会学传统与行为经济学的三个主要方面整合：有限理性，预期理论和时间不一致。我认为惯性提供了一个替代框架，以显示社会和心理结构是如何相互构成的，可以根据一个人在经济领域中的地位以及一个人的相应性格倾向来减少或扩大对非理性的认知倾向。从更理性的高氧倾向到不合理的同种异体倾向。桥接经济社会学和行为经济学，这项工作还涉及持续的金融不平等问题，这些问题是通过自我败坏的经济行为模式重现的，这些行为灌输给在社会结构中占据主导地位的个人。布迪厄的思想，特别是他的领域+习惯的概念，可以有效地应用于行为经济学的实证研究，以理解与理性行为的偏离不仅是认知上的，而且是社会结构上的。
