Behavioural Economics and the Modern Economy – 5 day Intensive Programme
June 7 – June 11
London School of Economics and Political Science
LSE Executive Education Courses are taught by full-time LSE faculty who are leaders in their respective fields. Courses are also augmented by senior practitioners drawn from industry and business.
About the course:
Behavioural economics has revolutionised economics in the past thirty years by replacing the standard assumptions of perfect rationality and unbridled self-interest with more psychologically realistic alternatives. Behavioural economists believe that economists have traditionally acted as if humans are smarter and harsher than they actually are. More importantly, the departures from rationality and selfishness are systematic – the scientific goal of behavioural economics is to understand how people actually behave.
.
The course will draw on psychological/experimental research as well as formal behavioural economic models.
This executive course is suitable for: – Professionals in the business and financial sector – Policy practitioners interested in applying behavioural insights to public policy
