Teaching a Behavioral Economics Elective: Highlighting the Science of Economics
American Economic Review · 2015 · Volume 105 · Issue 5
Abstract
In this paper, I provide an overview of how one might teach an advanced undergraduate elective on Behavioral Economics. While I focus on the structure and themes from my own course, I also attempt to highlight ways in which instructors might choose an alternative structure. Throughout, I emphasize how a Behavioral Economics elective is a great vehicle in which to highlight to undergraduates the science of Economics.
