Behavioral Economics is the BEST Field of Economics

Behavioral economics shows us the quirks of our decisions. It also shows how a marathon is like buying a car. #economics

Can you please put out the videos on finding data and publishing research thank you love your content

Very useful information...

I'm always interested to know the effects of different measurement systems and standards. You mention this with the arbitrary number for marathons, but the length of miles and kilometers are also arbitrary. What would the world look like if we used a measuring system based off of the length of a marathon with all other increments based off that? Would houses be larger or smaller? What would the world look like if everyone learned to graph in polar coordinates before normal cartesian coordinates? Would there be more circular buildings?

Here's me, preparing myself to form a legrangian for utility maximization after setting up a that utility production function.

Financial economics videos please👍👍

What are your views on financial economics and Monetary policy ?

[@MarketPowerYT]

Not much on financial economics, but for monetary policy I'm very mainstream. I'm planning an MMT video for the near future though.

So that's why everything costs $x.99 instead of $y.00!

Yes! I should have included that in the video.

If we can quantify `human competitiveness`, it can explain runners need to beat certain threshold like 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours. Can we form an algorithm of human competitiveness. ? Perhaps when we have mapped human brain with neuroscientific advancements, we can.

Hey Craig, I am a sophomore econ-finance major who wants to get a PhD at a top-20 school after undergrad. Currently GPA is a bit above 3.7 at a mid level state school. What types of internships and research opportunities should I look for and when should I get them? Thanks!

[@MarketPowerYT]

Here's some of my advice on applying for grad schools: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jonPc4OplraUZ7M Summary: don't worry about internships, just find a professor who you can work with on research; build up your math skills; make sure professors can say something about you when they write letters.

[@tuckerpippin6576]

@@MarketPowerYT Thank you for the quick reply! Okay great, that takes the stress off finding an economics related internship.

I am planning to do my master's in behavioral Econ. can you please suggest good schools for that it would be really helpful.

"behavioral economics explains this better than classical economics". Behavioral doesn't explain in at all, it just documents the phenomenon. That's why behavioral economics is looked down on so often. It's less about a grand theory and more about a bag of "got ya!"s for classical economics.

I thought development economics was the best :'v
