6 Tips for Beginners in Behavioral Economics

[MarkStanley]

On point #6: many people share the interest, but don't know it has a formal name. How many times have you shared something you're working on with someone else, and had them say, "You too?" ;)

Good job, Peter! Nice and useful video!

Thank you so much for this video! I've been studying the subject for a while and plan to go for a behavioral economics master's after my psychology graduation this year. It truly is hard to find what is the most important for each career path or even what they actually do. Content like yours is a great help for those who plan to pursue a career in this field.
keep up the great work!

Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I am a stock trader and I use 80% of psychology to execute my trades.
Please, I have 3 questions regarding behavioral economics;
1. Will a degree in behavioural economics will help me improve on my trading methodology?
2. How math heavy is the course?
3. Will a 6momths program be good enough considering my career path?
Thanks

Hey Pete, thanks for the honest and useful insights. #4 is especially relatable cos during my masters, I came across papers claiming many theories were not replicable, including the ever famous loss aversion.

I feel like you’re not actually talking about behavioural economics, but behavioural science in general, which is different.

Awesome video! Any tips for what to look for in a master's program for behavioral/decision science programs?

Hey Pete, Great video!
If I am into behavioural science/behavioural economics, should I major in psychology or economics for my undergrad?
What will help me most?

So you don't make a distinction between behavioural science and behavioural economics?

[TeacherAliESL]

Is there any online course related to behavioral economics which u can offer? basically I need the certification

[amyadams]

Behavioural science is the study of human actions and has existed long before it was applied by marketing firms 😀. Maybe only watch this video if you're interested in interning at Ogilvy, not for working in the field!

Hy Pete .
I am a self-published author.
I wonder if I you can give me ideas to improve my marketing .
I read the classics of behaviour economics, but I feel that I just scratched the surface.
Thanks, Dan.

To what extent would say you need a masters since it very competitive? Can you get in without it from your perspective?

[mallukittens]

Behavioural economics is a subset of Behavioural Science right ? Why are you using it simultaneously?
