Course description

We make decisions daily and often make mistakes. Biases, emotions, beliefs and social norms shape our expectations, and affect the way we process information leading to systematic deviations from a good judgment.  Incentives and nudges can be used to motivate ourselves, our friends, workers, managers, investors and consumers.  This course will examine the major themes of behavioral economics and address their implications for business and public policy.
