The standard economic approach to model human decision-making rest on the assumptions of rationality and selfishness. Behavioral economics investigates departures from these assumptions and develops alternative models. In this course, we will first study the standard economic model and then take a look at empirical evidence which reveals systematic deviations from the theoretical predictions, for example, in risky and inter-temporal decision-making. Finally, we will analyze models that aim at a better description of actual human behavior. More detailed information will be made available on Stud.IP.
