 My name is Anna van Alve. I'm a student here at Tilburg University. I study economic psychology. Economic psychology is a study of economic behavior. How people make decisions, how people cope with scarcity, how do people respond to advertising. Why don't we prepare well enough for our pension? Questions like that. Economic psychology mainly focuses on choice behavior. How do we make certain choices? For example, there's a choice paradox. People would like to have more choice, but in the end the more choice they have, the less satisfied they are with the actual choice they made. Economic psychology is basically a Tilburg Convention. Already in the early 70s we founded the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology as well as the Journal of Economic Psychology. We also have one of the few programs in economic psychology in Europe and we have by far the longest track record in this field. It's a really small university and it feels like a bit of a family actually. The program economic psychology is not a very heavy program in the sense that you are required to study all the time and have to be reading all the time. There's always time for leisure activities, different societies, so you actually really get to experience and enjoy student life. We use research-based education and that means that our students typically read empirical articles from academic journals and that we discuss them in depth in our classes and where possible we try to get our students actually actively involved in doing research as well. That's what we're actually doing during class, mainly during the workgroup or the small seminars, that we work in small groups and actually perform these studies, perform experiments. After the bachelor students typically enter the master. We offer a master's in economic psychology here at Tilby University as well and our experience is that our students easily find a job afterwards. Often in profit organizations in companies such as market research companies or advertising agencies but also sometimes in non-confermental organizations such as the NEBIT, the Dance Institute for Vegetarian Advice or the Authority of Financial Markets. I think it's fair to say that our graduates are behavioral scientists with a strong feel for how to apply behavioral insights into professional environments. What I would really like to do in my future job is to change behavior in people for the better, so not specifically for economic wins but more in social desirable ways. So people adhere more in traffic rules for example or are less inclined to throw their trash just away on the street but put it in the bin for example. So those are examples that I would like to change behavior for the better.
