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.
