Abstract
This article summarizes a recent seminar of the Czech Economic Association devoted to the relationship between psychology and economics. While economi c methodology strives for scientific reasoning, the course of this pursuit often results in the neglect of the behavioral aspects of economic agents. A paper, presented at the seminar, and the discussion afterward showed that psychology may enrich economic thinking about reality.
