Lecture: Behavioural Economics and Decision theory

Teacher, Content, Time and room

Teacher: Urs Fischbacher (lecture) & Deepti Bhatia (tutorial)

Content:
Neoclassical economic models rest on the assumptions of rationality and selfishness. Behavioral economics investigates departures from these assumptions and develops alternative models. In this lecture, we will discuss inconsistencies in intertemporal decisions, the role of reference points, money illusion and non-selfish behavior. We will analyze models that aim in a better description of actual human behavior.
