Behavioral Public Economics (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Mario Mechtel
Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 03.04.2023 - 07.07.2023 | C 14.006 Seminarraum
Inhalt: Based on numerous empirical and experimental insights, the field of behavioral economics emerged within the last decades and became an important part of mainstream economic research. Behavioral economists have contributed to the debates about many topics in public economics. This seminar will cover fundamental topics from this field. We will approach behavioral public economics from a pragmatic, policy-oriented perspective. Without talking too much about the fundamental question of whether the assumptions made in neoclassical theory are “valid”, we will raise different policy relevant questions and incorporate behavioral insights to test whether they improve policy outcomes. The lecture part of the seminar will briefly cover basics from behavioral economics (non-standard preferences, bounded self-control, imperfect optimization), while part II will focus on specific aspects of behavioral public economics research.
