1 Econ 206: Decisions Christopher P. Chambers Econ 304 Monday 4:00-7:00 This course is on economic decision making and the empirical content of economic models. The approach will be to understand when choice behavior is consistent with some economic model of decision making. Topics covered will include classical and modern choice theory, as well as the theory of decisions (the theory of behavior under uncertainty). Other topics include the empirical content of classical behavioral models (say, the work extending Afriat). The focus here is on understanding what we can say with a given model and observable primitives (usually some form of choice). Many (difficult) open questions exist on the empirical content of classical models of decision and game theory. My plan is to distribute a set of notes (co-authored with Federico Echenique) on the subject. Below is a partial list of readings. I obviously don t plan to cover these all. Grades will be based on attendance and in-class presentations. 1 Uncertainty Useful books L.J. Savage. The foundations of statistics. Dover Pubns, 1972 D.M. Kreps. Notes on the Theory of Choice.
