==Biography==
Avner Offer was born and raised in Israel. He was educated at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Oxford University.〔()〕 He has worked at the University of York, the Australian National University, and the University of Oxford, with research fellowships at the University of Southampton, the University of Cambridge, Rutgers University and New York University. He is married with two children.
Offer's most recent work, ''The Challenge of Affluence: Self-Control and Well-Being in the United States and Britain since 1950'', represents to some extent a challenge to Neoclassical economics. Through it he argues that "well-being" has in fact lagged behind the increasing affluence of western societies: that "affluence breeds impatience, and impatience undermines well-being...the paradox of affluence and its challenge is that the flow of new rewards can undermine the capacity to enjoy them."〔The Challenge of Affluence: Self-control and Well-being in the USA and Britain since 1950. (Oxford, 2006)〕 The central concepts are therefore future discount, bounded rationality, and myopia.
