BA Economics
From healthcare to the environment to law, economic theories help make sense of complex issues. In USC Dornsife’s Economics department, economic theory is intertwined with practical models to address concepts across many disciplinary boundaries. In this original approach to research, scholars are developing analytical models to explain broad concepts, such as human behavior. Theories like the economics of happiness and the economics of uncertainty were honed within USC Dornsife walls. Emphasis is placed on practical economic research, such as how economics can be used to better understand business contracts and competition within industries.

Behavioral Economics Minor
Behavioral studies of economic decision-making are attracting a lot of attention in Economics. Understanding how people make decisions is relevant for a large variety of applications including market design, policy, health or education. This minor offers a comprehensive set of classes that review the recent advances in the study of decision-making. Theoretical classes will review traditional theories of decision-making based on the economic rational paradigm as well as new behavioral theories designed to better capture actual decision-making. Experimental classes will cover standard and novel experimental methods used to study economics decision-making and game theoretical paradigms.
