Behavioral Insights for Policy Making
Lead with Impact:
Discover how Behavioral Economics can transform public policy by uncovering the hidden forces that drive human behavior. This course bridges psychology and economics to explain why people make irrational decisions and how these insights can be harnessed to design more effective policies.
This class will equip participants with cutting-edge knowledge and skills to create impactful public policies. Participants will gain insights into the latest behavioral research and understand how to apply these findings to address real-world policy challenges. This knowledge is crucial for designing policies that effectively improve health, education, financial decisions, and environmental outcomes.
Participants will learn to develop and implement behavioral interventions such as nudges, default options, and framing effects that can significantly improve public well-being without restricting individual freedoms. This course is designed for those interested in public policy, policymakers seeking to refine their strategies, and professionals aiming to broaden their expertise.
