Description:
The aim of this seminar is to expand students’ knowledge on behavioral economics by studying (recent) research articles on the topic. To do so, students will prepare reports (in groups of three), in which they summarize and discuss an article. Moreover, students will present their report. Students are expected to study all articles covered in the seminar in order to be able to contribute to the discussion. Students will draft a research idea. With regards to prior knowledge, students should have attended classes on Microeconomics, and, ideally, Behavioral Economics.
I will give an overview of the seminar in the initial session on September 24, including the list of available research articles. We will form groups of three students who will collaborate for the seminar. The presentations and discussions of the papers will take place on November 12, November 26 and December 10.
The intention of the course is to take a deep dive into the use of response times in economics and to see what we can learn from them beyond choice data. Here is a tentative list of papers:
