What you’ll learn in this course

What drives consumers to make the decisions they make?  We now know that there are a number of rational and irrational influences that drive purchase decisions, brand preferences and more. It is our job as market researchers to leverage concepts such as anchoring, framing and the power of default to help clients gain new insights.  Learn important behavioral economics concepts that will improve your research designs and reports.  Please note that this class has pre-reading and homework assignments.

Upon course completion, you will be able to 

  • Define Behavioral Economics (BE)
  • Distinguish between behavioral and traditional economics
  • Apply BE lessons to improving respondent honesty
  • Apply BE lessons to pricing research
  • Apply BE lessons to overcome challenges in gathering self-reported behaviors

As a student, you get lots of helpful videos, readings and reference material.
