Admissions to the MA in Behavioral Economics
A first-of-its-kind MA program in the field of decision-making, which began to receive particular recognition after Kahneman (2002) and Thaler (2017) were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for their related works. The program integrates aspects of economics and psychology, and provides insight into economic policy and social change, which attempts to answer questions that concern us all: What factors influence our decisions when we take economic risks? Do we use emotion or logic when making decisions? What are the forces that affect the way we make decisions under conditions of uncertainty? Program length: The program consists of nine mini-semesters, with regular classes held two days per week (Sundays and Fridays). Additional concentrated sessions and courses may be scheduled on other designated study days.
