Overview
Key facts
Combining the fields of psychology and economics, the discipline challenges traditional economic theory which assumes that individuals make rational choices. Rather, behavioural economics considers how people are more social and impulsive, less adept at using information, and more susceptible to psychological biases than standard economic models assume.
London School of Economics and Political Science's Introduction to Behavioural Economics highly interactive course gives students a clear introduction to the principles and methods of behavioural economics in relation to individuals, firms and institutions. Addressing behavioural economics both at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels, you will engage in important topics such as heuristics, biases, nudging strategies and rational expectations.
