Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy

The Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy studies a range of issues at the intersection of behavioral economics, law, and public policy. The issues include energy, health, obesity, highway safety, economic growth, finance, the environment (including climate change), savings, uses of social media, human rights, education, discrimination, and poverty. A particular emphasis is on behaviorally informed tools, such as default rules, norms, simplification, education, and warnings . There is continuing attention to the newest and best work in behavioral economics and its implications for public policy.

The following Harvard faculty are participating members in the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy.

Behavioral Decision Making

The faculty span a broad range of areas, including behavioral economics, cognitive and social psychology, marketing, organizational behavior, behavioral finance, behavioral strategy and public policy. Opportunities exist to work with scholars from neighboring disciplines such as law, medicine and public health. The program emphasizes collaboration and requires students to work on projects with multiple faculty across subject areas, and provides flexibility for students regarding the job markets for which they prepare.

During the first two years of the program, students take coursework in basic methodology/statistics, as well as behavioral economics, choice architecture and judgment and decision-making. Students also take courses in an area of professional focus in preparation for the job market of their choice, such as marketing, organizational behavior, finance or strategy. Students will also attend the Behavioral Decision Making Speakers series, which brings in top decision scholars from around the world to discuss their research. Students are expected to present their research every year to the rest of the area and give feedback on other presentations at the weekly behavioral lab meetings. Through active intellectual interchange, students become adept at developing and evaluating behavioral research and become exposed to a wide array of methods, behavioral insights and research applications. Students are expected to maintain an active research program throughout the course of their graduate studies.

At the end of each of their first two years of study, students are required to submit a paper, either writing up a completed research project or providing a detailed proposal of a research project they are interested in conducting. Each of these two papers must be written in collaboration with a different area faculty member, ensuring that students are exposed to multiple perspectives, paradigms and approaches to research, and that each student has multiple mentors. At the end of their second year, students will take a qualifying exam, which will require them to demonstrate, through the criteria below, that they have mastered the essential skills for behavioral science research:

• Read a research paper by another scholar and provide a critical review of the strengths and weaknesses of that paper
• Design a study to test a novel hypothesis
• Analyze a novel data set and write up a results section

By the end of their fourth year, students must advance to candidacy for a Ph.D. by successfully proposing a dissertation project that details a plan of important, novel, independent research to a committee of faculty, and having that proposal formally approved. Finally, to receive a Ph.D. students must complete a dissertation according to university requirements.

Explore the complex ways in which people make decisions and interact with one another. Behavioral science research at Chicago Booth draws on theory and methods from cognitive and social psychology, economics, and other related fields.

As a behavioral science PhD student at Chicago Booth, you’ll study human behavior in a wide range of contexts, including processes of negotiation, power and influence, and motivation and self-control.

You will have the flexibility to focus your doctoral studies in behavioral science on the research topics that most interest you. You can also augment your studies with work in economics, policy and intervention, psychology, marketing, finance, sociology, public policy, and other disciplines at Booth and across the university.

Some students earn a joint degree in psychology and business , a joint program between Booth’s behavioral science program and the Department of Psychology in the Division of the Social Sciences at the University of Chicago. Students must be admitted to the behavioral science dissertation area and apply for the joint program within their first two years in the Stevens Doctoral Program.

Our Distinguished Behavioral Science Faculty

Chicago Booth behavioral science faculty are thought leaders in their fields who have changed the way we evaluate economic judgment and decision-making. These world-renowned scholars, including a Nobel laureate, will serve as mentors during your time at Chicago Booth and beyond.

Spotlight on PhD Research

Chicago Booth Review frequently highlights the work of current PhD students, faculty, and alumni in behavioral science.

Why Do We Say Less When a Black Child Goes Missing?

In this episode of the Chicago Booth Review Podcast, Ayelet Fishbach, a professor of behavioral science at Chicago Booth, chats about her recent paper on “surprised elaboration.”

World Divergence of Values

Chicago Booth Prof. Joshua Conrad Jackson and PhD student, Dan Medvedev, test competing predictions about the convergence of cultural values in a rapidly globalist world. This paper was recently featured in a NYT article on global authoritarian trends. 

Defeating Bias Through AI

By understanding how people think and operate, algorithms could help us defeat bias instead of empowering it, Diag Davenport, PhD ’22, suggests. “The endgame is changing how people think, changing how institutions operate.”

Why Keeping Up with the Joneses is Problematic

“When you look to other people, you infer they’re wealthy because you see them spending a lot of money on something,” Chicago Booth PhD student, Rafael Batista says.

We've Been Underestimating Discrimination

University of Pennsylvania’s J. Aislinn Bohren, Brown’s Peter Hull, and Chicago Booth’s Alex Imas are among the economists who are proposing new approaches to measuring discrimination that take systemic factors into account.

Humanity Is Carried on the Voice

Research by Chicago Booth’s Nicholas Epley and others, including Juliana Schroeder, MA ’12, MBA ’14, PhD ’15, indicates that the presence of someone’s voice is an important part of conveying their humanity.

A Network of Support

Doctoral students at Booth have access to the resources of several high-powered research centers that offer funding for student work, host conferences, and foster a strong research community, as well as weekly workshops.

Center for Decision Research Positioned at the forefront of the rapidly developing field of behavioral science, the CDR is devoted to building a richer understanding of human behavior and experience.

Research Workshops Keep up to date with the latest behavioral science work through the Center for Decision Research's weekly workshop series. Faculty, students, and invited guests meet to discuss their work on the behavioral implications of decision and judgment models.

Inside the Student Experience

Juliana Schroeder, PhD ’15, talks about her research into how people convey their mental capacity to others.

Video Transcript

Juliana Schroeder, ’15: 00:11 I was always interested in the way that we interact with those around us, and the way that we judge them, and how we make decisions, but I was interested in it from sort of a really broad social science perspective, both psychology and economics, and then, when I came to Chicago Booth, I met Nick Epley right away who's a professor here, and he got me really interested in this specific topic. This is research about how people convey their mental capacity to others. Most people think that if someone can see them, they might appear smarter.

Juliana Schroeder, ’15: 00:46 We don't find any evidence of that. We find that it carries through the voice. We think that being able to hear someone's voice, being able to hear them speak is humanizing in some way. It kind of conveys their mental capacities. We've been looking at what are the paralinguistic cues that mediate the fact, and it seems that variance and pitch is important. There could be boundary conditions to this effect. There might be certain accents that convey less intelligence, so we're looking at the Southern drawl, for example. That is one in particular in the U.S. that seems to be associated with less intelligence

Juliana Schroeder, ’15: 01:22 There might be other ways of speaking and aspects in someone's speech, like vocal fray, that could convey less intelligence as well. Working with Nick Epley on this project has been a really fantastic experience. He has been so supportive. We would meet every single week and discuss ideas. I feel extremely lucky to be at Chicago Booth. It's been such an incredible place with incredible resources to do research. When I do research, I think about what would be an interesting psychological idea, so how do we perceive others that can have an application in terms of who gets jobs.

Juliana Schroeder, ’15: 02:01 But, it can also have applications in terms of conflict, in terms of humanization, all sorts of different aspects. And so, being able to do basic research here, and having the resources available in this study pool, the funding for that, it's just incredible.

Current Behavioral Science Students

Behavioral science students come to Chicago Booth from around the world, bringing a wide array of interests and perspectives.

Students in our PhD programs are encouraged from day one to think of this experience as their first job in business academia—a training ground for a challenging and rewarding career generating rigorous, relevant research that influences practice.

Our doctoral students work with faculty and access resources throughout HBS and Harvard University. The PhD program curriculum requires coursework at HBS and other Harvard discipline departments, and with HBS and Harvard faculty on advisory committees. Faculty throughout Harvard guide the programs through their participation on advisory committees.

How do I know which program is right for me?

There are many paths, but we are one HBS. Our PhD students draw on diverse personal and professional backgrounds to pursue an ever-expanding range of research topics. Explore more here about each program’s requirements & curriculum, read student profiles for each discipline as well as student research , and placement information.

The PhD in Business Administration grounds students in the disciplinary theories and research methods that form the foundation of an academic career. Jointly administered by HBS and GSAS, the program has five areas of study: Accounting and Management , Management , Marketing , Strategy , and Technology and Operations Management . All areas of study involve roughly two years of coursework culminating in a field exam. The remaining years of the program are spent conducting independent research, working on co-authored publications, and writing the dissertation. Students join these programs from a wide range of backgrounds, from consulting to engineering. Many applicants possess liberal arts degrees, as there is not a requirement to possess a business degree before joining the program

The PhD in Business Economics provides students the opportunity to study in both Harvard’s world-class Economics Department and Harvard Business School. Throughout the program, coursework includes exploration of microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, probability and statistics, and econometrics. While some students join the Business Economics program directly from undergraduate or masters programs, others have worked in economic consulting firms or as research assistants at universities or intergovernmental organizations.

The PhD program in Health Policy (Management) is rooted in data-driven research on the managerial, operational, and strategic issues facing a wide range of organizations. Coursework includes the study of microeconomic theory, management, research methods, and statistics. The backgrounds of students in this program are quite varied, with some coming from public health or the healthcare industry, while others arrive at the program with a background in disciplinary research

The PhD program in Organizational Behavior offers two tracks: either a micro or macro approach. In the micro track, students focus on the study of interpersonal relationships within organizations and the effects that groups have on individuals. Students in the macro track use sociological methods to examine organizations, groups, and markets as a whole, including topics such as the influence of individuals on organizational change, or the relationship between social missions and financial objectives. Jointly administered by HBS and GSAS, the program includes core disciplinary training in sociology or psychology, as well as additional coursework in organizational behavior.

Top 10 behavioral economics graduate programs for the cream of the crop.

Posted By: admin January 2, 2013

Behavioral economics is a field in economics encompassing interdisciplinary areas with concerns about financial/monetary decisions created by people and groups that are different from what they have predicted. The degree program in this field is rare; however, behavioral economics graduate programs are mostly offered in the graduate level like in the master’s degree and doctorate programs. Most of the time, behavioral economics is a specialized course under economics. Behavioral economics is closely related to behavioral finance and students taking this program will tackle in greater depth various subjects like the effects of cognitive, emotional and social factors with the economic decisions of people and groups of individuals. The consequences for resource allocation, market prices and returns are also studied.

Students will be focusing with the limits of rationality of economic means. The Behavioral models are usually the integrated insights from psychology with some approach of neo-classical economic theory.

10. University of Pittsburgh

The University of Pittsburgh has Ph.D. program in the area of Marketing and Business Economics with concentration in behavioral economics. This program prepares the graduate students in their contribution to the marketing field with the knowledge being discovered, developed and disseminated. As a student, you will be equipped with the necessary methodological skills plus theoretical background. The administration utilizes the apprenticeship model in their program because this is an effective approach for the Ph.D. training. The graduate program is under the helm of Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and the College of Business Administration

The Harvard Business School or HBS is offering a joint degree (together with the Department of Economics in Faculty of Arts and Sciences) for the doctoral/Ph.D. in Business Economics in which behavioral economics is a minor concentration. This program integrates economic analysis and the practical side of business. The degree is designed to prepare professional and graduate students for advance careers in the area of research as well as teaching in economics and business administration. This program is different from the Ph.D. program in Economics of the Harvard University as this program focuses on the business side utilizing statistical methods and economic analysis in order to deal efficiently with various problems in management. This is also different from Doctor of Business Administration especially in the econometric analysis and economic theory focus.

8. University of Michigan

The University of Michigan only admits students in the graduate level to students who have the capacity to take advanced studies in economics. If you want to take behavioral economics here, you can be admitted even if you do not have major in economics in your undergraduate because it is not required; however, micro and macroeconomic courses are significant. The University offers grants to students who will conduct research about behavioral economics. This is provided under the Russell Sage Foundation.

If your interest in taking the graduate study here is the behavioral economics, you will find the right faculty to assist and guide your study. The faculty here is heterogeneous in the views as well as methodologies involved in the field of economics. As a graduate student, you will attain critical viewpoint on the approaches about behavioral economics. The neo-classical theory and public choice theory as well as externalities and the various market failures will shaped you to learn more about behavioral economics.

6. Harvard University

The Harvard University is offering graduate program in behavioral economics graduate programs under the Department of Economics. This is different from the Harvard Business School particularly in the approach of study. This program is designed to address to the graduate students the opportunity to engage in advance teaching and in conducting related researches. The admission to the said program is competitive and limited to students wanting to take Ph.D. degree. As a student, you should be devoted full-time to your study program.

5. Carnegie Mellon University

The Carnegie Mellon University or CMU is one of the highest ranked universities in the country. They offer a program in behavioral economics. This program is designed to help professionals or groups of people or institutions to create wiser choices and decision making so that they can achieve the potential results of big improvements without the limitation for the freedom of people in conducting what they please to do. The program is under the Tepper School of Business.

4. The University of Chicago Booth School of Business

The University of Chicago – Booth School of Business handles the behavioral economics concentration. The UCBCB teaches the students about monetary discipline as well as how the economics can become a powerful instrument in understanding the society today as well as maximizing the well-being of humans. As a student, you will have in-depth study of the microeconomics in which you will assess how individuals, firms or households thrive on this current economic situation. Macroeconomics courses are also included in the program in which students examine the larger system affecting individuals and how the companies decides and make choices by assessing the (national or international) economic structure, performance and policies.

3. California Institute of Technology

The California Institute of Technology or Cal Tech offers the behavioral economics concentration under the Social Science Faculty that is housed by the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences. This program encompasses interdisciplinary studies. Cal Tech grants undergraduate degree in the field of in economics, political science and business economics and management.

Requirements

This program is rather flexible, allowing students to redefine their educational goals as their interests grow and change. The design of this Ph.D. program is based on a full-time commitment, including summers, and on the completion of the activities listed below.

The key requirements for completing the degree are:

• Course work
• First-Year and Second-Year Summer Research Paper
• Qualifying Examination
• Dissertation Proposal & Defense

Details on each of these, as well as additional information on degree policies, are below.

-Course Work-

12 semester-length Ph.D. courses, with at least four of these courses being methodology courses.  Students may use at most one independent study towards completion of the non-methodology coursework.  Courses must be completed by the end of the 5 th semester and only grades of B or better will be counted towards this requirement.  Students must also attend the SDS Ph.D seminar during their first year of residence in the program.

-Pre-Candidacy Research Papers-

During their first two years of study, students are required to write summer papers on an original research topic that interests them. The papers will normally be completed during the summer of their first and second years of the program.  Each paper needs to be approved by a three-person committee.  The second paper needs to be successfully defended to a quorum of faculty (a quorum consist of more non-committee members than committee members in attendance).  The papers must have co-chairs from Tepper and SDS (tenure-track or research-track).

-Qualifying Exams-

On the SDS side, students must pass the SDS "Psychology of Decision Making" (Judgment) and "Behavioral Economics " (Choice) qualifiers.  They are expected to do so at the end of their first summer, but they will have the option to retake a failed exam by the end of January in their second year.  This would replace the Advanced Economic Analysis exam normally required of Tepper students.

On the Tepper side, students will be required to pass the Microeconomics (Micro 1, 2, and 3) qualifiers and 2 out of the 3 Macroeconomics Qualifiers questions.  They are also expected to pass the Tepper qualifying exam in econometrics, or they may take the Heinz quantitative requirements course sequence and take a qualifying examination based on that course sequence.  Tepper qualifying exams are given in the second full week of January and should be taken no later than the student’s second year of study.

All qualifying exam procedures are subject to administrative adjustment according to standard University and College procedures.

Because the “Behavioral Economics” exam (also known as the “Choice” exam) and the “Psychology of Decision Making” exam (also called the “Judgment” exam) taken by students in the Behavioral Economics joint program are given outside of the standard early-January timeframe for all Tepper qualifying exams, the following policy is in effect for students in this area of study:

•  Students will be given a one-month extension of the due dates associated with the Tepper 1 st and 2 nd   year papers for either of the above-referenced SDS exams taken during a summer in which one of these papers is due, when the exam is given in June .  This extension would thus make their paper draft due on August 31 and the final version due on September 30.
• Students will be given a two-month extension of the due dates associated with the Tepper 1 st and 2 nd   year papers for either of the above-referenced SDS exams taken during a summer in which one of these papers is due, when the exam is given in July/ August .  This extension would thus make their paper draft due on September 30 and the final version due on October 31. 
• Students taking both exams in the same summer will be given a three-month extension of the above-mentioned deadlines, i.e., paper draft due October 31 and final version due November 30.

This extension structure would also apply in cases where qualifying exams need to be retaken.

-TA Requirements-

TA requirements depend on which program a student is admitted to.  Students admitted (and funded) through SDS must TA a semester-length course for SDS in each semester they are enrolled.  Students admitted and funded through Tepper must complete 14 units of TAing/Teaching for Tepper prior to graduation.  TAing is permitted only with special approval prior to the 4 th semester.  Students admitted through Tepper must also teach one Tepper course, typically during their 4 th summer. The course counts for 4 units towards the aforementioned Tepper TAing/Teaching requirement.

-Dissertation-

Students must successfully propose their dissertation by the end of the 7 th semester.  The proposal must meet the applicable rules of the admitting unit (Tepper or SDS).  The dissertation committee must have co-chairs from Tepper and SDS (tenure-track or research-track.)  With approval of the student’s dissertation co-chairs, a student may petition the chair of the PhD committee at Tepper and/or the Graduate Education Committee at SDS for a one-semester extension to this deadline.  Students must defend their dissertation by the end of the 7 th year.

-Review of Students-

Every spring semester, both SDS and Tepper will separately evaluate the students to determine their standing. Each unit can separately decide to keep or dismiss a student.  Both Tepper and SDS must approve to retain a student to remain in the joint program.  One department may decide to dismiss a student from the joint program.  In this case, the other unit can agree to retain the student but the student will no longer be in the joint program.  Both units may wish to dismiss the student, and in this case the student will be dismissed from CMU.

Arkansas State University names interim deans for two major programs

Today at 3:37 a.m.

by The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Arkansas State University named two interim deans Monday -- one for the College of Education and Behavioral Science and the other for the Graduate School.

Annette Hux, 52, will become interim dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Science, replacing Mary Jane Bradley, who has served as dean since 2016 until her retirement.

Brad Rawlins, 63, will become interim dean of the Graduate School. Cherisse Jones-Branch, the Graduate School dean since 2020, is becoming dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Communication, the university announced in April. Jones-Branch transitions into her new role July 1.

The Hux and Rawlins appointments will take effect July 1, as well, said Calvin White Jr., executive vice chancellor and provost.

Hux joined the university in 2009 as an adjunct professor. In 2011, she became a full-time faculty member. Before taking her current position, Hux was assistant department chairperson for 11 years, according to the university.

She holds certifications for a school district superintendency, principalship and special education administration.

Hux has a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo., a master's in elementary administration with certification in special education administration at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Mo., and a doctoral degree in educational leadership and higher education at Saint Louis University, also in Missouri.

Rawlins has been in a number of administrative roles at A-State since 2012, when he was hired as dean of the College of Communication. He has been chief academic officer for Campus Querétaro in Mexico and inaugural director of the A-State School of Media and Journalism. Most recently, Rawlins has been interim dean of the A-State College of Liberal Arts and Communication.

He joined the university after 12 years at Brigham Young University-Idaho, where he was chairman of the Department of Communications. Before he worked at BYU, Rawlins taught at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., for eight years.

Rawlins has two bachelor's degrees from Washington State University in Pullman. One is in communications. The other is in foreign languages and literature. He graduated from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa with a master's degree in advertising and public relations and a doctoral degree in mass communications.

Decomposition rates of an invasive plant litter in native-species communities can be slower, since decomposers are not adapted to the litter of the invasive species. We have compared rates of plant decomposition and the structure of arthropod communities during the incubation of the litter of the invasive giant goldenrod Solidago gigantea (Asteraceae) and three native species ( Urtica dioica , Cirsium arvense , and Chamaenerion angustifolium ) in the biotopes with dominance of local and invasive plant species. Our results suggest that the arthropod community involved in decomposition of S. gigantea and other species is not species specific and does not provide a higher or lower rate of decomposition of the invasive species. Neither the rate of litter decomposition, nor the structure and diversity of arthropod communities support the home-field advantage hypothesis.
