Tippie Webinar Series: Experimental Economics - How Understanding Humans Helps Us Understand Economics
For a long time economics modeled people as being hyper-rational individuals who never made mistakes and never gave in to emotions. Over the past few decades, insights from psychology and experimental economics have overturned this orthodoxy and changed how economists think about many issues.
Join David Cooper, Rollins Professor of Economics and Departmental Executive Officer at the Tippie College of Business, for this engaging presentation which will focus in on the following:
(1) Are spikes in housing and securities markets driven by rational forces, irrational exuberance, or some combination of both?
(2) Why is coordination so important for organizations, and how leaders help organizations overcome coordination failure.
