• Introduction: Behavioral Economics & Experimental Method
• Individual Choice: Biases & Heuristics
• Markets and Strategic Thinking
• Fairness and Cooperation
• Happiness EconomicsIn discussing these topics, the course addresses the following questions:
1) What are the advantages and limitations of experimental economics?
2) How important are deviations from the assumptions of full rationality and strict self-interest in determining outcomes of economic interaction?I argue that identifying individual-level “anomalies” is not sufficient to demonstrate their economic and social importance. Instead, it must be analyzed how institutions mitigate and multiply these anomalies. A broad range of institutions, including markets, bargaining and voting is discussed.
