Abstract: Experimental and behavioral economics are well established branches in the economic science. This essay presents and discusses some results and behavioral regularities<br/>from these fields which are of potential importance for public policy. After a brief introduction of what experimental and behavioral economics is, some behavioral regularities as presentation and framing effects, pro-social behavior, and<br/>reciprocity are introduced and it is reported how they interact with prominent trading institutions, taxation, and social and individual well-being. Throughout some<br/>implications for public policy are discussed.<br/>
