“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Nelson Mandela)
I believe that sharing scientific knowledge is key to improve life outcomes, reduce inequality and make our world a better place. Every human being has a right to education and a duty to bring scientific knowledge before self-serving opinions.
DESCRIPTION OF classes and programs
How do people make decisions and why does it matter for themselves and others? Behavioral economists bring insights from psychology and other fields to inform Economics models and thinking. This research is critical to not only understand but also predict how people choose and how markets are impacted by these choices. It is also critical to design interventions to improve life and market outcomes.
There is converging evidence that our behavior has a biological basis. This means that our genes and our physiology are shaping what we like, what we decide every day, and how we react to outcomes. Social and economic systems cannot be studied independently from biology.
The programs below are designed to disseminate knowledge about the most recent advances in behavioral economics.
GRADUATE Program (USC)
Several classes are offered yearly to USC MA and PhD students who wish to learn about Behavioral Economics and Experimental Economics.
UnderGRADUATE Program (USC)
Several classes are offered within the Major in Behavioral Economics and Psychology and the Minor in Behavioral Economics at USC.
LABEL TRAINING & Visitor Program
It is offered by LABEL to non-USC students (from 10th grade to PhD level) who wish to learn about experimental and theoretical methods that are used around decision-making. Students may apply to come and visit for a semester or a year, or to work remotely with LABEL.
Little Experimentalists Program
The program, created in 2013, is offered to schools who partner with LABEL to study Developmental Behavioral Economics. It provides hands on research activities, field trips and classes for students as well as seminars for parents and teachers.
