Summer 2022+23: Tutorial Behavioral Economics
This weekly tutorial accompanies the lecture, which covers central methods and concepts of behavioral economics at an advanced level. We first discuss models of economic decision behavior. Then, we will present evidence from laboratory and field experiments in economics and psychology which has led to alternative descriptive models of behavior. In this context, we will also discuss how the modern empirical toolbox of behavioral economists can help to obtain causal evidence on the determinants of human behavior. Finally, we will also briefly discuss recent advances in behavioral economics, such as Neuro- and Genoeconomics.

A specific emphasis of the tutorial is to teach students a basic understanding for how to program in R and deal and analyze spatial data.
