Khulood Alqattan launches her book on Behavioral Economics

BBS Board Member Khulood Alqattan affirmed that the time
has come to establish a behavioral vision unit in the Kingdom
of Bahrain that serves the aspirations and goals of the Kingdom
of Bahrain’s Economic Vision. She saw that the Kingdom of
Bahrain is one of the most prominent countries that possesses
all the ingredients to establish this unit, by benefiting from the
experiences of other countries, and adapting it in accordance
with Bahrain’s culture and society.

This is highligted in Ms. Alqattan’s book under the title
Behavioral Economics Between Knowledge and Application.
She indicated that she divided her book into 2 parts; a theoretical
part, which is concerned with defining the science of behavioral
economics and its relationship with other sciences such
as psychology, and the second part presents the experiences of countries that have established
units of behavioral insights, the most important of which is the experience of the United Kingdom.
She pointed out that behavioral economics targets all segments of society, including individuals,
institutions and states, as it is concerned with studying behaviors and knowing how to direct them
in the interest of achieving the desired societal goals. Her publication has highlighted that Arab
countries have timid attempts with regard to the application of Behavioral Economics, which has
motivated her to further investigate and write this book.
