Description
We teach that one cornerstone of economic concepts and laws is the assumption of rational decision making. However, how can we expect humans to behave rationally all the time? By implementing lessons on Behavioral Economics into your classroom, you can help students understand why not all economic laws are absolute or immune to failure. Economics is a social science, and therefore there must be an element of factoring irrationality and emotion into its projections. This webinar will help you implement age-appropriate behavioral experiments into your lessons to offer students a well-rounded understanding of economic decision making and real world applications.
