Why do people not always act as rational economic decision makers? How can we apply mathematics and psychology to improve our economic models? Contrary to assumptions in traditional economics, people do not automatically choose the optimal course of action, even if given proper incentives. Intrigued? Our Behavioural Economics programme brings you the skills to optimise strategies and policies by including the framing and context that affect people’s choices.This skills-based programme addresses the psychology of decision making. In both mainstream and behavioural economics courses you will acquire a deep understanding of economics as well as the skills to adapt strategies and policies to deviations from rational behaviour.Behavioural Economics gives you both solid training in mainstream economics and the tools and models to use psychological insights to improve predictions and design effective products, strategies, and policies. The curriculum consists of courses in mainstream economics as well as courses in Behavioural Economics. You can choose between three mainstream economics tracks, corresponding with our other Economics and Business specialisations:-Financial Economics track-Economics of Management and Organisation track -Marketing trackThese tracks consist of courses and seminars of the corresponding specialisations of the Master of Economics and Business. In the core Behavioural Economics courses (4 credits) you will learn the most recent insights from Behavioural Economics. In the seminars (12 credits) you get the chance to apply these insights in a highly interactive setting. The core behavioural economics courses include:-Advanced Behavioural Economics-Experimental Economics-Seminar Applied Behavioural EconomicsOn top of this, students can choose a behavioural elective such as Advanced Behavioural Finance or Neuromarketing.
