Explore how economics can be used to explain everyday behavior in a myriad of real-life situations. Discuss the work of the most influential and seminal minds in the economics profession.
Most people think of economists as seers who try to predict the future of the stock markets, government deficits, unemployment, etc.—a far too parochial view of what economists do. Fascinating economists are engaged in the study of human behavior. The most fertile minds in economics today deal with observing the world and trying to understand it, not predict it.
Attendees will gain an appreciation for how the economist views the world and the power of their theories to explain why people behave the way they do.
