Overview

Chapman University's Behavioral and Computational Economics degree prepares students to design, develop, test and implement efficient exchange systems in fields such as stock trading, online auctions, scheduling, insurance and public utilities.

Key facts

The programme curriculum takes a unique hands-on approach. Students spend some time with traditional study of economic systems, but the majority of their work is on personal projects and experiments.

Students are encouraged to use their insights to create exchange systems they find personally interesting, and the ESI professors support and work alongside the students throughout the programme.

Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to describe and provide examples of the effective use of economic models and experimental procedures and demonstrate the ability to implement economic models in an experimental setting and effectively use analytic tools. (e.g. experiment software, Mathematica, statistical packages, etc.)

Students must be able to formulate appropriate models and hypotheses, analyze data effectively, and create useful depictions of data and theory.

Student will demonstrate effective written and verbal communication; understand the social impact of an economic problem in relation to existing literature, and articulate in homework, presentations and thesis the validity of the research methodology undertaken and the its position in the context of current research.
