Behavioral and Experimental Economics Master Quiz

Behavioral and Experimental Economics par 5-question practice quiz.

This quiz checks core knowledge in Behavioral and Experimental Economics.

Behavioural Economics in Indian Policy

The Economic Survey nudge chapter and the Indian campaigns built on behavioural insights.

India formally adopted behavioural economics as a policy framework in the Economic Survey 2018-19, which devoted a full chapter to the subject and reinterpreted several flagship campaigns as nudges. This quiz covers that chapter and the Indian programmes most often analysed through a behavioural lens.

Behavioural Economics in Public Policy

Tax letters, automatic enrolment, sludge and the main criticisms of nudge-based policy.

Governments have applied behavioural findings to tax collection, pensions, energy use and public health, usually through randomised trials of the interventions themselves. The approach also attracts serious criticism for addressing symptoms rather than structural causes. This quiz covers both the applications and the critiques.

Classic Paradoxes and Anomalies

Allais, Ellsberg, the equity premium puzzle, the planning fallacy and status quo bias.

A handful of carefully constructed paradoxes did more to undermine expected utility theory than any general argument. Each shows ordinary people making choices that are internally inconsistent under the standard axioms. This quiz covers the paradoxes and puzzles that motivated the behavioural research programme.

Randomised Trials in Development Economics

Field experiments, J-PAL and the 2019 Nobel Prize for the experimental approach to poverty.

Development economics was transformed by importing the randomised controlled trial from medicine, allowing researchers to measure what a specific intervention actually causes rather than what correlates with it. The approach won the 2019 Nobel Prize. This quiz covers its methods, institutions and laureates.

Behavioural Finance and Market Anomalies

Herd behaviour, the disposition effect, overconfidence and present bias in markets.

Behavioural finance applies psychological findings to asset markets, explaining persistent patterns that the efficient markets hypothesis struggles with: bubbles, excessive trading and the reluctance to realise losses. This quiz covers the main documented anomalies and the economists who identified them.

Bounded Rationality and Mental Accounting

Herbert Simon, satisficing, homo economicus and Thaler's mental accounts.

Long before behavioural economics had a name, Herbert Simon argued that real decision makers cannot optimise because their information and computing capacity are limited. Richard Thaler later showed that people also partition money into non-fungible mental categories. This quiz covers both departures from the rational agent model.

Experimental Games in Economics

The ultimatum, dictator and public goods games and what they revealed about fairness.

Laboratory games gave economists a controlled way to test whether people actually behave as self-interested maximisers. The consistent finding across cultures is that they do not: fairness, reciprocity and punishment appear even when they are individually costly. This quiz covers the standard experimental designs.

Nudge Theory and Choice Architecture

Defaults, nudge units and the design of the environments in which people choose.

Nudge theory argues that small changes in how choices are presented can substantially change behaviour without restricting options or altering incentives. Governments worldwide established dedicated units to apply the idea. This quiz covers the theory's authors, its central mechanisms and its best-documented applications.

Cognitive Biases in Decision Making

Anchoring, availability, sunk costs, confirmation bias and framing effects explained.

Cognitive biases are systematic departures from rational judgement that recur across populations and cannot be trained away easily. This quiz covers the five most frequently cited biases in economics, each supported by decades of replicated experimental evidence and each with direct implications for policy and markets.

Foundations of Behavioural Economics

Prospect theory, the Nobel laureates who built the field, and the two systems of thinking.

Behavioural economics began when two psychologists showed that people systematically violate the axioms of expected utility theory. Their 1979 paper on prospect theory reshaped economics and eventually earned a Nobel Prize. This quiz covers the founders of the field, the prizes that recognised them, and loss aversion.

Behavioral and Experimental Economics Quiz

A quiz on key concepts in behavioral and experimental economics.

Behavioral and Experimental Economics explores how psychological factors influence economic decisions and how lab experiments can test economic theories. It covers heuristics, bounded rationality, and experimental methods to analyze real-world economic behavior. This quiz focuses on core theories, models, and experimental designs used in the field.

Behavioral and Experimental Economics Quiz

Test your knowledge of key concepts in behavioral and experimental economics.

Behavioral and experimental economics explore how psychological factors influence economic decisions. This field challenges traditional economic assumptions by incorporating insights from psychology, sociology, and neuroscience. Experimental economics uses controlled settings to study decision-making behaviors, while behavioral economics focuses on real-world applications of these insights. Key topics include bounded rationality, prospect theory, and the role of emotions in economic choices.

Behavioral and Experimental Economics Quiz

A quiz on the intersection of psychology and economics through experimental methods.

Behavioral and Experimental Economics explores how psychological factors influence economic decisions. It uses controlled experiments to study human behavior, challenging traditional economic assumptions. Key concepts include bounded rationality, loss aversion, and framing effects. This field has applications in policy design, marketing, and finance.
