Behavioural economics update

Dan Ariely, one of the world’s foremost authorities on behavioural economics was on sparkling form in a lecture to a packed audience at the LSE last night.  There were several tutor2u teaching colleagues there amongst the audience and Geoff has written a detailed blog entry summarising Dan’s key points.  We’ve also made available to download Mo Tanweer’s superb econoMAX article on behavioural economics which provides an excellent introduction for students.

We’ve now gathered around 100 resources (videos, articles, books etc) on behavioural economics on the AS/A2 Economics Blog and there is now a dedicated section for all these materials.  Here is the link to that section for you:

Both Geoff and Mo are part of the tutor2u presenter team at the forthcoming AS & A2 Economics student revision workshops in London (30 November) and Manchester (6 December).  There are still a few places left for each workshop, athough we normally get a rush of bookings in the first few days after half-term.  To organise some places, please complete this online booking form:
