A Course in Behavioral Economics

Erik Angner is Professor of Practical Philosophy at Stockholm University, where he directs the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) Program. As a result of serious mission creep, he holds two PhDs — one in Economics and one in History and Philosophy of Science — both from the University of Pittsburgh. He is the author of one monograph and multiple journal articles and book chapters on behavioral and experimental economics, the economics of happiness, and the history, philosophy, and methodology of contemporary economics. He lives in Stockholm with his wife and their three children.
