Dear All,

welcome to the Moodle course site for Behavioural Economics for SEED and EACT!

The course provides the foundations for understanding the theories of rational and irrational decision making with a focus on applications to applied economic problems. The course aim is to provide you with the analytical tools necessary to design and apply behavioural incentives to choice problems and understand the principles with which to evaluate different interventions.

The course will consist in 2 weekly lectures for 5 weeks consisting of a mixture of standard lecture, class discussions and your own presentations. It will take place every Thursday and Friday 8.15-11am in Room F4. 

All the course materials will be made available online, and you will be reading mostly academic papers and reports and will have several videos to watch as well as other online interactive activities to carry out, all of which will be introduced in lectures and uploaded on Moodle alongside the lecture slides. 

We will also make use of a range of videos, blogs and academic papers which will again all be pointed out to you and uploaded on Moodle. Please take a look at the list of readings and videos already provided.

I look forward to meeting you all in person! 

Marina
