Obiettivi: Standard economics assumes that people are rational and that individuals are optimizing agents. This applies also to the design of policies. However, such an assumption is difficult to match with human psychology. People are boundedly rational, they do not choose always what is optimal for them, and their behavior is not purely driven by self-interest. This course discusses how to design public policies that consider bounded rationality. It will discuss how people understand taxes, how individuals perceive inequality, and how institutions can tackle poverty and development through a psychological lens. Last, the course discusses the underlying reasons for charitable giving and the impact of social media on individuals' well-being.
