Quick Facts:

Combining Behavioral and Applied Economics into a single path offers a unique opportunity to:

• develop empirical analysis skills, along with the ability to work with large datasets. This integration allows for in-depth research across a wide range of economic fields, including industrial organization, labor economics, public policy evaluation, data analytics, and big data analysis.
• improve the predictive power of economic models by incorporating insights from psychology. Predictable deviations from rationality benchmarks (biases) are organized into theories that provide a better account of human behavior.

In this way, BEA Graduates are equipped with a strong foundation to conduct rigorous economic analysis on issues relevant to policy, business, and decision-making. Throughout the program, theory and empirical methods are continuously integrated, with each course offering a balanced approach to both aspects. This unique learning experience allows BEA students to apply their knowledge to real-world situations while honing critical skills such as communication and independent evaluation.
