Thanks Richard! This paper couldn't have been written without the wonderful Emmanuel Farhi
When non-economists define behavioral economics they leave out foundational papers like this one which has the admirable goal of making economic theory more behavioral. NB: not written for lay readers.

Thank you Cass! Those words would have cheered Emmanuel Farhi, who was so passionate about the economics as a guide to policy (and became a keen, if part time, behavioral economist).
Optimal Taxation With Behavioral Agents - a magnificent 2020 paper by the late Emmanuel Farhi and Xavier Gabaix (one of the most important behavioral economics papers in recent years, I think). @jasonfurman @R_Thaler
