| Inhalt | Content: The course focuses on human decision behavior, from the perspectives of, both, advanced microeconomics and psychology (without presupposing prior study of it). We illustrate how the same theory is relevant to different disciplines, such as Accounting, Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing, and Organization Studies. With exceptions, such as Prospect Theory, economics and psychology have had surprisingly little mutual influence. However, interest in an interdisciplinary approach has grown considerably, and this course, being unique in the university landscape, is a response to these developments. We start with the classical microeconomic theory, which is free from logical flaws, because it rests on a set of well specified axioms. Yet, there are many examples where the theory makes “strange” predictions that are not only inconsistent with lay intuition but also with psychological experiments. Psychology on the other hand is focused on experimental methodology and narrow hypotheses that are consistent with experiments, but at the cost of being ill-specified and not allowing for one coherent theory. Studying both approaches will put you in a better position to recognize when each is appropriate, and when it is not. |
| Bemerkungen | If the lecture 31960 Advanced Economic Theory/Advanced Microeconomics is already successfully completed, it is not possible to gain further credits with this lecture. For all MIME students: This lecture can be substituted in the Module 1: Advanced Topics in Econonomics with the lecture 40106 Game Theory and the Theory of the Firm which is taught in spring term. |
