All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire. {Aristotle}
Behavioural Economics…
… is a topic that is introduced at A-level and many pupils jump on it as a fun and interesting new lens through which to view the world. And that is great, but sometimes in the teaching of this field of economics and psychology, what is missed is that there is a rigorous side to Behavioural Economics (B.E). Certainly at university and for Oxbridge, if you are going to pursue a passion in B.E, you need to show better evidence than having simply read about some limited experiments done on a small data set at an American University. This page here offers some resources for some of the more rigorous and interesting discussions in the field.
