Nobel Prize-winner and co-author of Nudge, Richard Thaler, and rising star economist Alex Imas explore behavioral economics in this fully updated edition of the seminal work The Winner’s CurseWhy do people cooperate with one another when they have no incentive to do so? Why do we hold onto possessions of little value? And why is the winner of an auction so often disappointed?Over thirty years ago, Richard Thaler introduced readers to behavioral economics in his seminal Anomalies column, written with collaborators including Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky.

Lieutenant Anna Koray thought she''d finally found solid ground and escaped her past as the daughter of a notorious serial killer. A loving boyfriend, a loyal dog, a life that almost feels normal-except darkness has a way of seeping in. When she saves a boy from drowning, the strange marks on his body tell a disturbing story: something in the depths tried to drag him under. Days later, another victim surfaces with identical marks and Anna''s instincts scream that these are no accidents. Both victims are connected to the Kings of Warsaw Creek-men of the town''s wealthiest and most influential families. And they have enemies. Others whisper that there are witches in Bayern County, seeking revenge for a long-ago murder. Perhaps it''s the work of Vivian Carson, the enigmatic bartender who''s rumoured to cast hexes on those who wrong her.

But Anna''s investigation reveals an even more sinister truth: something is stirring in the water, and it wants the Kings to pay. With time running out and more victims appearing, Anna must separate superstition from truth. But in Bayern County, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''A majestic story'' David Bodanis, Financial Times From the international bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible and Physics of the FutureThis is the story of a quest: to find a Theory of Everything.
