课程综述
传统的经济学一般使用简单的〈理性行为者〉模型，认为人是完全理性的。我们将会介绍一些其他模型，它们从心理学的角度看比标准模型更加接近现实。我们将结合心理现象使标准模型丰富起来，这些心理现象包括有限理性、有限自利以及有限意志力。本课程在经济学上的应用包括决策理论、博弈理论、资产定价、储蓄、投资组合配置、股票市场可预测性、神经元经济学。
课程要求
本学期的课程大约有5套作业，其中成绩最差的一套不计分数。
成绩计分
作业迟交的处理原则
不接受迟交的作业（由于迟交的作业不被接受，所以我们制定了一个灵活的办法，即不计算最差的一套作业的成绩）。
教材
指定的课本只是阅读材料的一部分。因此同学们需要更多的依赖课堂讲义。每周末，我们都会把一些课堂讲义放到网上去。此外，我们在课堂上常常会指定一些阅读文章；这些都是必须阅读的。后面列出了阅读材料的初步清单，但是本学期内清单的内容可能会更改。我们会把所有的阅读材料放到网页的链接上，或者在要求你阅读之前，在课堂上发给你。
考试
期中考试和期末考试将采用闭卷形式。

Course Organization
Course Overview
Traditional economics typically uses the simple "rational actor" model, where people perfectly maximize. We will present models that are psychologically more realistic than this standard model. We will enrich the standard model by incorporating psychological phenomena, including bounded rationality, bounded self-interest, and bounded willpower. Applications will include decision theory, game theory, asset pricing, savings, portfolio allocation, stock market predictability, neuroeconomics.
Requirements
There will be 5 or so problem sets during the course of the semesters. Each student's weakest problem set will not count.

Policy on Lateness
Late problem sets will not be accepted. (Since late problem sets are not accepted, we've built a little flexibility into the system by not counting the weakest problem set.)
Textbook
The assigned texts cover only part of the material. Therefore, you will have to rely more than usual on your notes from lecture. At the end of each week, we will put some course notes on the course's web page. In addition, I will often assign articles in class; these are required. A preliminary list of readings is below, but the list may change during the semester. All of these readings will either have links from the course website, or will be handed out in class before you would be required to read them.
Exams
The midterm and the final exam will be closed books, closed notes.
