Introducere

Why don't people always act as rational economic decision-makers? How can we apply mathematics and psychology to improve our economic models? Contrary to assumptions in traditional economics, people do not automatically choose the optimal course of action, even if given proper incentives. Intrigued? Our Behavioural Economics programme brings you the skills to optimise strategies and policies by including the framing and context that affect people’s choices.

This skills-based programme addresses the economics and psychology of decision-making. In both mainstream and behavioural economics courses you will acquire a deep understanding of economics as well as the skills to adapt strategies and policies to address deviations from rational behaviour. You will also learn how to run experiments in economics, for instance when testing how to best implement a policy. In the problem-based-learning seminar, students apply their theoretical knowledge to address real-world problems, including encouragement of sustainable and digitally secure behaviour.
