• Slides, problem sets, mock-experiment instructions, and any additional readings will be made available on Virtuale.

Argomenti del programma: The core theory used in economics rests on basic assumptions on individual selfishness, rationality and utility maximization. During the last three decades, these assumptions have been put into question by a growing stream of literature, broadly defined as “behavioral economics,” which aims at improving the descriptive accuracy of these assumptions, while maintaining the formal discipline of economic modeling.
