Abstract
The course introduces students to the field of behavioural economics a discipline which combines insights from economics and psychology, as well as others, like sociology or political science, to understand the nature and motives of human behaviour in individual and interactive decision-making. Behavioural economics combines the rigour of economic analysis of individual and interactive collective decisions with empirical facts about behaviour established through careful obervational and experimental studies. Experimental design and methods, with applications to the lab, field and nature, will be intergal part of the course. Finally, course participants will be enrolled in real research project they are supposed to complete in small groups of 2 4 members, and present its outcome in public at the end of the course. Prerequisites: This course requires completion of Micro 2, Statistics 2 and Econometrics courses of ICEF. Background in social sciences such as Sociology and Political Science, is welcomed, but not mandatory.
