ECN300.2 : Behavioral Economics
Description:
Behavioral economics involves examining the assumptions underlying ‘standard’ economic theories and models and revising these assumptions and models to place them on a more realistic psychological foundation. The overall objective is to increase the explanatory power of economic theories (perhaps providing a means to understand the current credit crunch) and to enable more accurate predictions to be made from such theories.
