Content
This unit begins by exploring individual rationality and decision making; it then builds upon this by considering behaviour in strategic interactions with others; it concludes by considering how individuals make decisions within groups. Throughout, the unit explores a variety of topics and applications including risk and uncertainty, paradoxes of choice, other-regarding preferences, the role of information in economic and social situations, the tragedy of the commons, and voting systems. The unit emphasises an understanding of analytical concepts in an intuitive and relevant manner, and includes behavioural extensions to neoclassical concepts in economics.
