Скачать или смотреть What Is Behavioral Economics? Why Smart People Make Irrational Decisions

Why do people make bad financial choices even when they know better?
Why do emotions, habits, and mental shortcuts often defeat logic?

In this video, we explore what behavioral economics is and how it challenges traditional economic theory. Unlike classical economics, which assumes humans are perfectly rational, behavioral economics reveals how cognitive biases, emotions, and psychological factors shape real-world decisions.

You’ll discover:

Why people fear losses more than they value gains

How mental shortcuts quietly control everyday choices

Why saving money, eating healthy, or planning for the future is so hard

How governments, companies, and tech platforms use behavioral economics to influence behavior

Behavioral economics helps explain everything from shopping habits and investing mistakes to social media addiction and public policy design. If you’ve ever wondered why humans act irrationally—this video has the answer.

Perfect for students, curious minds, and anyone interested in economics, psychology, and human behavior.
