Abstract
Behavioral economics has grown immensely since Richard Thaler founded the field. In this thesis, I explore three different areas of behavioral economics. The first chapter explores how mood affects contributions to Wikipedia, an online public good. The second chapter explores whether self-restraint can be a driver of crime. The third chapter explores whether rational inattention in valuations can be a source of risk aversion.
