A Course in Behavioral Economics offers a clear and rigorous introduction to how psychological insights reshape traditional economic models. Angner explains how biases, heuristics, and social preferences influence decision-making in real-world contexts. The book integrates theory with experimental evidence, showing how behavior systematically deviates from rational-choice predictions. It examines key concepts such as prospect theory, intertemporal choice, and behavioral game theory. Each chapter connects models to applications in policy, markets, and everyday decisions. With accessible explanations and pedagogical tools, it serves both beginners and advanced students. Angner emphasizes the growing relevance of behavioral insights for improving economic analysis
