In the M.Sc. program Economic Behavior & Governance, memorizing theories is not enough. Instead, the program focuses on practical application: ”How do concepts from behavioral economics and empirical methods enrich our comprehension of the real world? and “How can they help to tailor solutions to pressing problems in today’s economy and society?”. It is exactly this link between behavioral economics, empirical methods and governance that distinguishes the M.Sc. program Economic Behavior & Governance.
