Behavioral Economics

Behavioral Economics is an approach to understanding economic decision-making by combining insights from psychology, judgement, decision making, and economics. Coursera's Behavioral Economics catalogue teaches you about the models of decision-making, the role of behavioral biases, and the impact of these biases on economic outcomes. You'll learn how individuals, businesses, and governments can use behavioral economics to improve decision making and policy. These include concepts like loss aversion, discounting, and framing effects. Moreover, you will be able to apply these principles to a wide range of real-world issues from personal finance and health behaviors to public policy and development.
