Hi Steemit! (A quick introduction)

Hi Steemit community!

I'm a self though developer working with both web-technology and machine learning. However I'm educated within business and economics and also have a passion for both behavioural economics and psychology.

Here on Steemit I will publish content related to behavioural economics/psychology and programming.

I will shortly publish my first post on irrational behaviour and cognitive biases , so if you share my interests, press follow :))

Here is a small sample:

Irrational escalation

The phenomenon where people justify increased investment in a decision, based on the cumulative prior investment, despite new evidence suggesting that the decision was probably wrong. Also known as the sunk cost fallacy. (wikipedia)

IKEA effect

The tendency for people to place a disproportionately high value on objects that they partially assembled themselves, such as furniture from IKEA, regardless of the quality of the end result. (wikipedia)
