課程綜述
傳統的經濟學一般使用簡單的「理性行為者」模型，認為人是完全理性的。我們將會介紹一些其他模型，它們從心理學的角度看比標準模型更加接近現實。我們將結合心理現象使標準模型豐富起來，這些心理現象包括有限理性、有限自利以及有限意志力。本課程在經濟學上的應用包括決策理論、賽局理論、資產定價、儲蓄、投資組合配置、股票市場可預測性、神經元經濟學。
課程要求
本學期的課程大約有5套習題集，其中成績最差的一套不計分數。
成績計分
作業遲交的處理原則
不接受遲交的作業（由於遲交的習題集不被接受，所以我們制定了一個靈活的辦法，即不計算最差的一套習題集的成績）。
教材
指定的課本只是閱讀材料的一部分。因此同學們需要更多的倚賴課堂講義。每週末，我們都會把一些課堂講義放到網上去。此外，我們在課堂上常常會指定一些閱讀文章；這些都是必須閱讀的。後面列出了閱讀材料的初步清單，但是本學期內清單的內容可能會更改。我們會把所有的閱讀材料放到網頁的連結上，或者在要求你閱讀之前，在課堂上發給你。
考試
期中考試和期末考試將採用閉卷形式。

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.
