General Information The tutorials
alternate with lectures. At the dates listed in the table below there will be
a tutorial instead of a lecture (scheduled). The aim of the tutorial is to make
the students familiar with the theoretical concepts introduced in the
lecture. The typical exercise introduces a behavioural concept into a
standard economic problem, like optimal consumption subject to a budget
constraint. Ideally, the exercises highlight how introducing concepts of
behavioural economics in standard models can help to “explain” observed
behaviour. |
