ABS 430 Human Behavior and the Economy

In this course, students are introduced to economic models of human behavior. These models, based on the concept of exchange, are used to describe decision making by the individual, decision making between two individuals, and decision making among groups of individuals. The course also covers selected concepts from economic behavior theory, and how these concepts guide our personal and group choices and decisions. Provocative storytelling is utilized to demonstrate that economics is, at root, the study of incentives - how people get what they want or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.
