About this course
Behavioral economics rethinks the standard economic model of human behavior by integrating experiential and psychological research into economic theory. This course is based on behavioral economic theory and case studies examining the choices of individuals in Denmark and Europe. Theoretical skills are developed through work with conflicting theories, and analytical skills by working with data on human choices in experiments.
