Economics
Behavioral Economics rethinks the standard economic model of human behavior, by integrating experimental and psychological research into economic theory. This course is based on behavioral economic theory and on cases from Denmark and Europe examining choices of individuals. The theoretical skills of the students will be developed through work with conflicting theories and their analytical skills through working with data on choices made by people in experiments.
Prerequisites: One semester courses in both microeconomics and macroeconomics, plus a course in intermediate or advanced microeconomics.
