Rational Behavior Economics Traditional economics is based on the assumption that people make rational decisions where the MB ≥ MC . . . . .

We rarely choose things in absolute terms Lesson: The “decoy” will often determine which option you pick! We rarely choose things in absolute terms We need to compare choices (things are relative!) We avoid hard comparisons We fear LOSS more than we value GAIN called loss aversion)

Ted Video (17 minutes) What we need to make decisions http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_asks_are_we_in_control_of_our_own_decisions.html

Behavioral Economics Recap We admit physical limitations but not cognitive limitations Our eyes, brain (cognition) , memory have serious limitations Our irrational decisions are often predictable & repeatable We can’t compute the value of something alone We make decisions by comparing options: Our decisions change by what we compare (everything is relative!) We avoid hard comparisons: we seek things that are easy to compare “default” option should be to join (organ donation, 401-K plan)

Cognitive Limitations Cognitive Physical Limitations vs. Limitations We don’t accept We accept overtime
