Other classes by Daniel J Acland

This course presents psychological and experimental economics research demonstrating departures from perfect rationality, self-interest, and other classical assumptions of economics and explores ways that these departures can be mathematically modeled and incorporated into mainstream positive and normative economics. The course will focus on the behavioral evidence itself, especially on specific formal assumptions that capture the findings in a way that can be incorporated into economics. The implications of these new assumptions for theoretical and empirical economics will be explored.

Class Notes

Even though Econ 119 allows time conflict, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that there is not a final exam time conflict. If there is, the student must choose between the two classes. The final exam will NOT be offered at any alternate time, due to a time conflict.
