Course description

The course is an introduction to concepts and theories relevant to students' everyday economic and financial decision-making while at university and after graduation. It covers practical matters that are meaningful for them, such as controlling expenses, preparing a budget, managing debt, choosing a bank account, a saving product or a credit card, financing a car, choosing a car insurance, selecting a mobile phone or internet plan, deciding whether to undertake further education, and activities that are familiar to students. The course equips students with tools to make sound economic decisions and avoid psychological biases. It offers both an intellectual framework based on the latest insights from behavioural economics and practical solutions to students' economic and financial challenges. In-class experiments highlight biases students might have in making economic decisions and increase student engagement.
