行为与实验经济学

This course is mainly devoted to the methodology and application of behavioral and experimental methods in economics and management. Given the recent growth of interest in real behavioral considerations, experiments are increasingly used in economics to study human behavior. With their help we now have a much better understanding of individual and market behavior. Students will overview some of the most important existing behavioral and experimental work and learn how to design their own experiments and prepare to run them. They will also master randomized control trial (RCT), the golden rule of quantitative economic, management, and social science studies, policy evaluation, and causal inference. The course also briefly introduces behavioral finance, i.e., how individuals and firms make financial decisions in a way that deviates from those predicted by traditional financial or economic theory, and how this affects various financial practices.
