      abstract = {John Tomer was a leading intellectual figure in  behavioural economics, making distinct contributions to the  theory of the firm, social economy, choice theory, and  government policy. His underlying methodology as an  economist was to incorporate different disciplinary  approaches to the subject at hand, whilst maintaining an  underlying respect and understanding of how and why humans  behave the way they do. This book brings together a  collection of scholars celebrating John Tomers  contributions to the field of economics. Covering key areas  of his research, contributing authors discuss the latest  research in behavioral economics, the human firm, climate  change policy, sustainability, well-being, human capital,  and human development. This volume, extending John Tomers  more scientific perspective rooted in behavioural and  institutional economics, should find an audience among both  scholars and policy advocates. It can also enrich course  delivery, providing students with alternative perspectives  and approach to economic and socio-economic analysis.
