Annotation

This course introduces the key concepts in behavioral economics and finance, a modern and quickly emerging field that integrates insights from psychology into economics.

In first part of the course (seven lectures), Michal Bauer and Julie Chytilová will focus on the following topics: social preferences and fairness, time discounting and limited self-control, discrimination and group identity and inattention.

In the second part of the course (four lectures), Jiří Kukačka wil focus on behavioral finance, specifically on investors' psychology and its aggregate effects on financial markets, and agent-based computational finance.

After introducing the concepts, the classes will be largely based on discussion of individual papers.
