Behavioral Interventions for Policy and Organizations

A core MBDS program course requirement, this course addresses methodological, conceptual, and practical issues that apply to policies and services offered by governments and organizations. We will discuss the conditions that must be satisfied to make different types of behavioral interventions effective and the incentives that stakeholders face. The course relies on the main theoretical and empirical findings of modern policy analysis and upon an extensive set of case studies. Students are required to master conceptual material and main empirical findings to confront and solve practical cases for public policy and organizations. Permits offered to non-MBDS students if space is available.
