What Can Behavioral Economics Teach Us about Teaching Economics?
Supriya Sarnikar · 2015
70/100
👍 Worth It
A genuinely novel application of behavioral economics to the classroom, backed by original empirical data on student misconceptions rather than just theory — that's a real contribution for economics educators. The interdisciplinary bridge between economics, psychology, and pedagogy is rare and valuable. But this is squarely academic territory; if you're not teaching economics or researching curriculum design, the accessibility walls go up fast.
