Behavioral Economics and Decision-Making

Traditional economic models assume that people make rational decisions—but in reality, human behavior is shaped by biases, emotions, and cognitive shortcuts. Behavioral economics bridges the gap between psychology and economics, helping leaders, policymakers, and professionals understand how people make decisions and how to influence them effectively.

This course explores the principles of behavioral economics, the impact of cognitive biases, and strategies to drive better decision-making in business, policy, and everyday life. Participants will learn how to optimize choices, nudge behaviors, and design environments that encourage rational decision-making.
