Introduction to Experimental and Behavioral Economics

Lectures and Topics



The course is run as a series of lectures delivered by a variety of international scholars (yes, we are trying to make the most of the online learning for this course). Each week there will be a class delivered by one of the instructors on a specific topic, as outlined in the table.

You might, and often will be asked to prepare for the class by filling a questionnaire or by reading a piece of writing in advance. Also, some classes will include interactive activities in which we would love you to participate.

And remember, it's cameras on! We have invited many international scholars to give lectures in this course, don't let them talk to a blank screen, please.
