This module covers experimental economic theories and evidence in relation to the environmental field, using game theory and behavioural economics tools. The aim is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how to tackle cases of asymmetric information, cooperation and bounded rationality from an economics perspective, and to give them familiarity with most used research tools and methods that a larger number of organizations and companies are currently using in their investigations into environmental and energy fields.
The module will therefore be divided in three parts:
1. Deviations in preferences, choices and beliefs (Behavioural Economics)
2. Cooperation and Asymmetry of Information (Game Theory)
3. RCT: theory and applications
