Abstrakt: The theoretical core of behavioral economies is that the heterogeneity of the people is restored in the economic system of the economics research, that is to say, it is to regard a simplified hut not one- sided "real economy people" as the assumptions to eliminate various "anomalies" under the neoclassical economics framework. However, behavioral economics has been regarded as "immethodical" which could be explained from three aspects: First, behavioral economics is indeed by modifying the assumptions of neoclassical economics in different ways to eliminate the different "vision"; Secondly, this is the objective facts produced in the process for behavioral economics to explain the complex and diverse "vision". It is also a necessary phase during the developments of economics. Thirdly, people who criticize behavioral economics mostly stand on the position of neoclassical economics and make a mistake of cutting the feet to fit the shoes. Behavioral economics is still in the course of dynamic evolution and collaborative innovation with relative disciplines is helpful for its development. Also, it is important for researches to reach a consensus about the crisis of anomalies faced by neoclassical economics. Our discussion clarifies the theoretical skeleton of economics, and it is helpful for us to correct the tendency of understanding economics in a one - sided way. It also promotes us to learn emerging theories of economics to serve for our economic construction with an open mind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
