This course investigates the psychological and economic processes underlying individual and social decision-making. We will develop an understanding of the differences between major theories and research practices in economics and psychology.
We will learn when and why economic theories fail descriptively, and what alternative theories of decision- making have been proposed. Finally, we will address how the findings from psychology and economics can be applied to improve public policy and real-life decision-making.
