LPPL 4660 - Value and Bias in Public Policy

Effective Start Date: 08/01/2022
This course moves beyond the traditional economic approach to public policy and explores the role of psychological analysis. Decision-making is not always rational, but involves various cognitive biases that can result in mistrust and prejudice, preference for avoidance of loss rather than maximization of gain, and overweighting of short-term outcomes.

Credits: 3
