SUMMARY:Other Things Matter – Insights from Behavioral Economics
DESCRIPTION:You’re Invited! Please join us for the Minnesota Council on Economic Education’s Speaker Series\, “Bringing Economics to Life! — A Series of Conversations Aimed at Using Economics to Better Understand Our World and Address Its Challenges” with featured guest\, director of the Center for Economic Education at Florida Atlantic University\, Bill Bosshardt. \nOther Things Matter – Insights from Behavioral Economics \nTraditional economics assumes that people behave like “Econs\,” perfectly rational individuals who always make decisions to maximize their happiness\, with income as their only barrier to unlimited happiness. According to this view\, Econs consistently choose the option that provides the greatest personal benefit. Behavioral economics\, however\, shows that real people\, “Humans\,” don’t always follow this idealized model. Instead\, Human decisions are often influenced by other factors beyond the goods and services income can buy. This talk explores insights from behavioral economics\, highlighting how our behavior often diverges from the predictable patterns of an “Econ” and uncovering the reasons behind our so-called “irrational” choices. Join us to discover how understanding these insights can help make sense of the choices we all make. \n\nPlease share this wonderful opportunity with your colleagues and friends to help share MCEE’s work. \nUpon completion\, teacher participants will receive a certificate of completion for 1.0 clock hours to go toward required Continuing Education Units (CEU). \n*Registrants will receive an email the morning of the event containing webinar details and Zoom link. \nREGISTER \n  \n

SUMMARY:Understanding Finance from a Behavioral Lens
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for Financial Capability Month (April) by attending MCEE’s free virtual Speaker Series event\, “Bringing Economics to Life! — A Series of Conversations Aimed at Using Economics to Better Understand Our World and Address Its Challenges”. \nThis free event will be held virtually Wednesday\, April 9\, 4:00-5:00 pm ct with featured guest\, John Spooner Professor of Finance at the Carlson School of Management\, University of Minnesota\, Tracy Wang. \nUnderstanding Finance from a Behavioral Lens \nWhat comes to mind when we think about Finance? Many people see numbers: the flashing prices on ticker boards\, numbers in financial statements\, dollars exchanging hands. Professor Tracy Wang sees people. Traders in stock exchanges are people\, investors are people\, bankers are people\, and corporate financial managers are people. All the financial numbers that we see are driven by people’s behaviors and decisions. People’s fear of risk and yearning for return build the behavioral lens for us to understand all the core concepts in finance. In this seminar\, Tracy will show you what finance looks like when we see it from a behavioral lens.   \nPlease be sure to register here by April 8! \nREGISTER \nPlease share this wonderful opportunity with your colleagues and friends to help share MCEE’s work. You can learn more about MCEE and its mission through our new video. I hope you will join me in attending this event. \n \n
