授業の概要 Course Overview

Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement

This course assists students to foster a "Frontier Spirit", and helps students to better understand the nature of economic behavior, building up a basis for ethical and efficient business decision making.

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

This course include basic microeconomics and behavioral economics. Students will study models of rational choice and irrational behavioral patterns that are commonly observed but cannot be incorporated by classical economic theory. We focus on a selection of behavioral economic models that are essential in understanding consumer behavior. We will emphasize intuitions, real-life experience, and experimental results.

到達目標 / Achievement Goal


Upon the completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:
• Understand factors that can affect consumer behavior.
• Make predictions of consumer behavior by taking into account various factors beyond price and quality.
• Design strategies in the market place based on models of behavioral economics.
• Understand the role of experiments in behavioral economics.
