ECO1250H: Topics in Behavioural Economics

Behavioural economists study models of human decision making and the interaction among such decision makers in games and markets. As we aspire to construct "realistic" models, many of the models are inspired by psychological and experimental studies. In this course we will cover the following topics: individual choices under risk and uncertainty; intertemporal choice and self-control; other-regarding preferences; bounded rationality in individual decision-making and games; measuring choice consistency; procedural rationality; usefulness of non-choice data; replication of experimental findings.
