Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Consuming environmentally-friendly products, registering as an organ donor, or receiving a vaccination—these decisions may have important consequences for the decision maker but also for society. How can one increase the quality of individual decisions while not blocking certain options and therefore restricting the decision makers’ freedom of choice? This course deals with the question how to change the choice architecture in order to improve decisions, so-called “nudges.” The course will cover (a) nudges’ theoretical foundation, (b) various examples of application in different areas of decision making, and (c) how to integrate nudges into policy making. It utilizes a multi-disciplinary perspective on human decision-making, including research papers from psychology, philosophy, economics, and related areas. Note that this course will be in English.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

This course will have two components that will both enter the grading: presentation of a short executive summary presentation (max. 20 min) of a research paper and guiding the related discussion in the seminar (50%), a written short assignment at the end of the course (max. 5 pages).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Every student has to prepare a short presentation either individually or in a team. Every student has to submit an assignment at the end of the course. Note that this course will be in English and all presentations and assignments will be in English as well.
