授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
Behavioral economics studies psychological, cognitive, cultural, and social factors that shape the decision maker’s behavior in the economic environment. Behavioral economics offers models of behavioral patterns that are commonly observed but cannot be incorporated by classical economic theory. This course focuses on a selection of behavioral economic models that are essential in understanding consumer behavior. We will emphasize intuitions and real-life experience.
