Overview
Key facts
The Prague Summer School on Behavioral Economics and Psychology course at Schola Empirica provides students with a unique opportunity to better understand the role of emotions in our “rational” decision-making and to learn about the implications of behavioral research for policy making, its practical applications in the realm of organizational management and how we can use the behavior insights at the individual level, e.g. helping us to cope with the flood of information in the current world.
The professors together with the students will address the following questions:
- How emotions impact “rational” decision-making
- How to stay honest under any circumstances
- Why do people consider certain behavior fair today and why almost identical one will cause a lynch tomorrow
- How to make your employer love you from the day one
- Why should you read newspapers you don’t like
- Why your Google account makes you dumber
Programme Structure
Topics include:
- Dual system of decision-making – are we emotional or rational driven
- Dishonesty of honest people – bastards within nice people
- Fairness – killing the killer
- Sources of the information – hoaxes or reliable information
- Behavioral errors in organizations – being a very happy employee (or employer)
- Experiment
