The Graduate Certificate in Behavioural Insights provides you with an in-depth understanding of how and why people think certain ways and make decisions. The program draws on theories and concepts from different fields such as behavioural economics, psychology, cognitive science, sociology and anthropology. Via practical learning you will obtain the knowledge and skills required to apply behavioural insights to uncover the human behavioural roots underlying contemporary policy challenges, and to construct behavioural solutions to address these challenges. The program also teaches you how to use appropriate empirical methods to design, test and evaluate behavioural interventions for evidence-based policy-making. * Please note that the subjects in this course include timetabled classes at UTAS campuses and venues, and other sessions that online students may be expected to attend at scheduled times. For students studying online outside of Australia this may include classes outside of normal work and study hours due to differences in timezones.

TAS-BEA121 Economic Policy in Action expands upon the key microeconomic and macroeconomic concepts introduced in TAS-BEA111 Introduction to Markets and the Economy. The first module of the subject focusses on extending the macroeconomics in TAS-BEA111 to consider international trade, exchange rates and the balance of payments. It also examines conventional and unconventional monetary and fiscal macroeconomic policy options to promote economic growth and manage shocks during times of crisis. The second module of the subject focuses on how to measure the economic impact of a new business or entity and its impacts on the well-being of different members of society. The subject extends the range of macroeconomic concepts that can be used to understand national account and balance of payments data; and how to investigate issues using the economic method; and to address issues of real importance to business and economic development and to communicate information in an effective manner. TAS-BEA121 is the second of two foundation level economics subjects offered by the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics. Taken together with BEA111 Introduction to Markets and the Economy, TAS-BEA121 provides you with a comprehensive introduction to macroeconomic theory and policy and forms a strong foundation if you are planning to continue your study of economics. TAS-BEA121 is a compulsory subject in the Bachelor of Economics (BEc) degree. It is also a compulsory subject in all the Economic majors offered by the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics and is a nominated elective in a wide range of other programs throughout the University of Tasmania.

In both our personal and work lives we regularly encounter &#39;games&#39;: that is, situations where our actions affect the others we interact with, and vice versa. Game Theory provides a framework to discuss and analyse these types of strategic interactions. It provides a modern language to important issues in business, economics, political science, sociology, philosophy and ethics, socio-biology and law. In this subject, you will be introduced to the central elements of game theory. You will learn about thinking strategically and its benefits in a variety of strategic settings and for many different applications. We will discuss how people might be expected to act in a variety of games and identify the best response to that behaviour.

Game Theory for Business and Social Sciences

The purpose of the subject is to build an applied understanding of the psychological biases which influence financial decision-making. The behavioural finance perspective of decision-making is contrast with more traditional finance perspectives. This enables a unique interpretation of market anomalies and asset pricing bubbles. The applications of the subject are across corporate finance and investment management.

Behavioural Finance

Energy is a key input for a well-functioning economy and is essential for maintaining our modern way of life. Energy influences many dimensions of our economic and social lives. Ensuring future responsible (sustainable) and equitable access to affordable energy is a significant challenge. Economics plays an important role in the functioning of the energy sector, as well as in the development and application of energy policies and regulations, designed to meet the challenge of sustainability. The purpose of this subject is to develop the economic theory necessary to critically evaluate energy policy and related environmental policy. The subject has been structured into 3 sections. The first section will provide an overview of energy markets. Topics include sources of energy and energy use. We will examine the economics of energy production and investment. We will also examine energy market regulation. We study power systems in section two. We look at the economics of electricity generation and distribution and the design of power markets. We investigate the issues involved with integrating renewable energy sources in power system. Section three considers the environmental implications of energy. The focus is on energy related externalities and the policies proposed to correct these externalities. The subject fits into the University&#39;s major research themes: Environment, Resources &amp; Sustainability; and, Data, Knowledge and Decisions.

Behavioural economics draws on insights and methods from psychology to better understand economic and business decisions. It takes economics beyond the traditional assumption of instrumental rationality, developing theories that more accurately explain and predict economic behaviour. Economic experiments are the main tool used by behavioural economists to test such theories and to investigate the underlying causes of individual and group decisions. This subject provides a hands-on coverage of experimental economics, its methods (including randomised controlled trials) and its real-world applications. It develops knowledge on how to design and conduct economic experiments as well as applying experimental economics to evaluate newly designed business strategies, public policies or nudge interventions.

The objective of this subject is to provide a basic understanding of contemporary issues in maritime economics from the managerial perspective. The main focus is on economic relationships and policies concerning ship owners, shippers, policy makers and other stakeholders in the maritime industry.

Maritime Economics for Managers

The objective of this subject is to provide a general understanding of the operation of the maritime industry from an economics perspective.

Digital disruptions such as the sharing economy have caused major disruptions for the tourism industry – both positive and negative. Platforms such as Airbnb and Uber, plus Airtasker, UberEats and HomeAway, have transformed the way tourists travel, the way that purchases are made, the way in which employees are hired, the way in which the industry is regulated and ultimately the way in which tourism as an industry is regarded by communities. Further disruptions such as big data have challenged norms of research, the ethics of collecting data and have ultimately challenged our understanding of how the tourism industry works. In this subject, you will tackle these issues by exploring the reasons for the rise of disruptive innovations such as the sharing economy. You will assess positive and negative impacts, from a diverse range of perspectives including those of consumers, tourism operators, the tourism industry and policy makers.

The Sharing Economy and Disruptive Innovations

This subject provides you with an introduction to behavioural economics. Behavioural economics is a discipline at the intersection of economics and psychology that draws on insights and methods from the social sciences to understand better how people actually make decisions. The aim of this subject is not to be mathematically or theoretically thorough. Rather, it focuses on developing a better understanding of how human psychology affects our decisions and how such knowledge can be applied to real world business and policy issues, including to the nudge agenda. You will also be exposed to methods of enquiry used in behavioural economics, in particular, economic experiments and randomised controlled trials, their real-world applications and the insights they generate. You will develop knowledge and skills to design and conduct such experiments and trials as well as to evaluate newly designed business strategies, public policies and nudge interventions.

Behavioural Economics

This subject provides managers with an introduction to a comprehensive range of key microeconomic and macroeconomic topics. The emphasis is on the practical application of basic economic concepts and models to real world business oriented problems. The subject will develop your ability to apply the economic way of thinking to solving problems within a firm and to understand the economic environment in which they operate.
