Behavioral Economics: An Introduction

Incorporating insights from psychology in economics has come a long way since the 1950s. More recent Nobel laureates being recognized for their work in behavioral economics implies that the field is slowly, but surely coming into the mainstream and gaining acceptance.

Our course provides an overview of the discipline, covering its history, essential theories, core principles, applications, and critiques. This course is among the first one hosted online to tackle these subjects with the rigor of academia while balancing out its implications for public policy, business strategy, and everyday life.

This course was designed by Nikhil George, Hansika Kapoor, Aditya Nair, and Anirudh Tagat at Monk Prayogshala. We are grateful to Juhi Vajpayee for assistance in preparing course material.
