Overview

 Behavioral economics incorporates psychologists’ perspectives on how people behave into formal economic analysis. Traditionally, economic theories assumes that people are good at making choices that achieve their aims. However, experimental evidences increasingly support the idea that peo- ple often deviate from rational behavior in systematic ways. This course focuses on what these deviations are and what kind of new insights they bring to economic applications.

译文:概述  行为经济学

行为经济学将心理学家关于人们行为方式的观点纳入正式的经济分析。 传统上,经济理论假设人们善于做出实现其目标的选择。 然而,越来越多的实验证据支持人们经常以系统的方式偏离理性行为的观点。 本课程重点介绍这些偏差是什么以及它们为经济应用带来了什么样的新见解。


Assignments and Grading

 Problem sets: There will be weekly homework. Problem sets will be posted by Wednesday night and due every Wednesday in class. I strongly encourage you to work in groups, but you must write the homework in your own language.

Exams: There is a midterm (Feb 8th Monday in class) and a final exam (March 18th Thursday 10:15am-12:15pm ).

Grades: Homework counts for 10%, the midterm counts for 40%, the final counts for 50%.

Grading Policies: No makeup exams will be given. In the case of a missed midterm due to unanticipated emergency situations, the student will be allowed to put the weight of the  missed  exam on the final exam,  provided I am notified as soon as possible (concrete proof is needed).        A missed final due to an unanticipated emergency will be handled with an “incomplete” for the course, assuming that I agree the situation represents an unanticipated emergency.  Be aware  that  that the Registrar will automatically convert a grate of “incomplete” to an F after one calendar year. Do not take this class if you already know you cannot make one of the scheduled exams.

Grading will be consistent with the typical distribution for economics classes.

译文:作业和评分 行为经济学

习题集:每周会有家庭作业。习题集将在周三晚上发布,并在每周三上课。我强烈鼓励你分组工作,但你必须用你自己的语言写作业。

考试:有期中考试(2 月 8 日星期一上课)和期末考试(3 月 18 日星期四上午 10:15 至下午 12:15)。

成绩:作业占 10%,期中占 40%,期末占 50%。

评分政策:不提供化妆考试。如果由于意外的紧急情况而错过了期中考试,只要尽快通知我(需要具体证据),学生将被允许将错过的考试的权重放在期末考试上。由于意外紧急情况而错过的期末考试将被视为课程“不完整”,假设我同意这种情况代表了意外紧急情况。请注意,注册商会在一个日历年后自动将“不完整”的炉排转换为 F。如果您已经知道自己无法参加预定的考试,请不要参加这门课程。评分将与经济学课程的典型分布一致。
