Session Title: How best to teach Institutional and Behavioral Economics: Across the curriculum? As free-standing courses? Why bother? |
|
|
Session Notes: Institutional and behavioral economics offers a rich, diverse set of theories, frameworks, empirical analyses and perspectives that can complement standard agricultural economics curriculum and course content. This symposium will provide examples and offer a format for discussing how these concepts and empirical analyses can be taught not only as free-standing courses, but also as embedded content within marketing, agribusiness, resource and environmental economics and development courses. A panel of experienced teachers will offer their perspectives on how the inclusion of institutional and behavioral economics enriches and strengthens the content of the courses that they teach. |
