Behavioural sciences, decision theory, game theory. (Words taken from the UNESCO Thesaurus).Abstract
The work paper aims to analyze behavioral economics and game theory from a comparative study. Methodologically, the research is of a documentary review type based on the topic to be discussed, supported by an extensive bibliographic review in various databases, such as PUBMED, Scopus WOS, Scielo, Redalyc; Once the investigations to be worked on were selected, the content analysis technique was applied as a tool to know the relevant ideas, which, through the analytical-synthetic method, were analyzed in order to present a theoretical synthesis on the subject. The theories studied are similar in that they study human behavior to face a decision-making based on the greater probability of being effective, however, game theory has been explored in the ecological field, plant nutrition, expanding its essence.
