Keen Behavioural Finance 2011 Lecture01 Economic Behaviour Part 1

[KenMacMillan]

Where can I find the reading material for this class?

[KenMacMillan]

Have you considered giving a lecture on TedTalks?

[Jmckeon23]

@KenMacMillan You have to be invited to TED

[KenMacMillan]

@Jmckeon23 ???

[Jmckeon23]

@KenMacMillan With TED you have to be invited to speak tere. If Keen is not invited he can't talk.

[KenMacMillan]

@Jmckeon23 Guess we'll have to recommend him.

@investmenttechnology you can see the affects of gravity, same with newtons laws etc. Indifference curves have no practical use, they are only a theory. Just because someone says you have an indifference curve between x and y doesn't mean you'll only ever stick to it, due to the irrationality of humans. Hence, the breakdown of neoclassical theory.

You sir are the exception that proves the rule :)

Bought your last book from Zed, awaiting deprogramming effects. Keep it up.

Thanks for "debunking" the economics I was taught 20 years ago-- they never made that much sense to me even then.... which is probably why I never went into that field!

Thanks for uploading these but please stop using 'comic sans' font in your lectures and please fix the color theme!

Steve, I find your lectures really engaging, so thanks a lot for uploading them -- it's great that this resource is available for non-UWS students. But did you deliberately search for the ugliest colour scheme and font possible for your lecture slides?

[dvdholden]

Thank you greatly for putting these videos up!

[TripleSpeak]

Wonderful! Thank you (from an American prof ;o)

Sippel, Reinhard. "An Experiment on the Pure Theory of Consumer's Behaviour." 1997

Is that the paper referenced to in this lecture?

@heckler73 That's right Heckler.
