Course Information

Description

This course enriches standard economic analyses of belief formation and choice by incorporating modern psychological research on human attention, memory, perception, categorization, and mental models. The course uses the standard mathematical modeling and empirical methods employed in economic research. It is intended for doctoral students interested in research in economics and related fields; we also encourage undergraduates with appropriate preparation. Instruction is divided between Joshua Schwartzstein (1/2 of the lectures) and Andrei Shleifer (1/2 of the lectures).
