This emerging interdisciplinary area, behavioral economics, examines how human decisions often diverge from ideal rationality and the resulting impacts on consumers, business leaders, organizations, and public policy. The combined program offered by the Operations, Information, and Decisions Department alongside the Business Economics and Public Policy Department investigates the psychological dimensions of economic behavior and choice. Students in this program gain insights into: (1) traditional rational choice theory, (2) psychological adjustments to this framework that account for actual human behavior, and (3) how these behavioral insights affect individual decision-making, market dynamics, and policy formulation.
