Behavioral Economics, advance course, 7,5 credits

The growth of Behavioral Economics has been nurtured by the inability of neoclassical economic theory based on the assumptions of perfect rationality, unlimited self control and exclusive interest in material payoff to spell out why people make irrational choices and why peoples short term preferences are largely inconsistent with their long term goals. By integrating the effects of social, emotional and cognitive factors in the analysis of how individuals process information to make decisions, this course offers essential knowledge in how to make psychologically realistic assumptions and predictions about human behavior.
