About Behavioral Econometrics
The lessons from behavioral economics have ameliorated social well-being and economic success in recent years. Academics and policymakers now recognize that integrating how individuals behave and make decisions in real life dramatically improves the effectiveness of public policies and the validity of simple theoretical models. Thus, this area of research has enhanced our understanding of the barriers to decision-making and led to the emergence of a wider and richer theoretical and empirical framework to inform human decision-making.
In the context of econometrics, behavioral models may involve accounting for factors such as bounded rationality, cognitive biases, and social influences when estimating relationships and making predictions. Researchers in behavioral econometrics use a variety of techniques, including experimental data, surveys, and observational data, to better capture and understand the complexities of human decision-making.
Overall, behavioral econometrics bridges the gap between economic theory and observed behavior, providing a more nuanced and realistic approach to modeling economic agents.

After finishing the first module, I decided to to do all modules because the first one has opened my mind, because here in Zambia there is no university or college where they offer as full program they way you offer it, it only comes as a course to those who are doing economics.
