DESCRIPTION

The first, introductory, module will revolve around the conceptual tools necessary to grasp and master the behavioral approach to economics. In this module we will discuss the main theoretical ideas of behavioral economics, contrasting them with the traditional approach both in the context of choice (prospect theory) and in the context of judgment (heuristics and bias). In the second part of the course we will discuss interdependent choice and the impact of social norms on behavior. In the third part of the course we will look at some applications to key issues in behavioral economics.
