Abstract
The article appraises the first achievements of the new branch of interdisciplinary research in the intersection of neurobiology and economics. The analysis of the main results of the new studies and the key areas of criticism of neuroeconomics are presented. The author claims that despite a number of interesting results, neuroeconomics will not be able to radically change economics due to methodological limitations and because of significant differences in the research subjects in neurobiology and economics.
