Course objectives
The course is an introduction to behavioral economics: the attempt to incorporate insights from psychology into economics. In the course, we will study how behavioral economists explain a range of psychological and social phenomena, and how those explanations differ from standard economic ones. In particular, we will study various ways in which (apparent) irrationality influences people’s judgment and decision-making.

Results of learning outcomes
NEUROECONOMICS I (3 CFU - Prof. Ugo Merlone)
Understanding of elements and limitations of normative theories on choice under certainty, choice, and judgment under risk and uncertainty, basic aspects of intertemporal choice, and strategic interaction.
NEUROECONOMICS II (1 CFU - Prof. Olga Dal Monte)
This course aims to provide deep and broad knowledge about Social Decision-making Neuroscience, its theoretical models, and the experimental paradigms used in this field. At the end of the course, students should become acquainted with basic neuroscientific principles underlying the neuroanatomical and neurofunctional underpinning of neuroeconomics and game theory.
