People no longer trust each other. Why? And how can we fix it? An interactive guide to the game theory of trust. Inspired by "The Complexity of Cooperation: Agent-Based Models of Competition and Collaboration" written by Robert Axelrod.

Comment from our editors:

This online game presents an innovative way of learning and trying out theories of Behavioural Economics and game theory. It is important to understand the behavioural basis of methodologies such as agent-based modelling that often relies on these insights. Also, note and make use of the over 25 fan-translations. And if you want, read some more about Behavioural Economics here.

What is innovation, what drives innovation and the process that differentiates firms? What is competition and what kind of dynamics lie behind the differences between firms and their innovative activities? Mariana Mazzucato elaborates on those questions from an evolutionary economics' and Schumpeterian perspective. The slides of her lecture are not visible, hence some visualizations can't be followed.

Rethinking Economics
Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie treffen eine außerirdische Gestalt, ein quietsch-grünes Alien, rein zufällig natürlich, auf dem allmorgendlichen Weg zur Arbeit. Es schaut Sie stirnrunzelnd an und fragt: „Was ist die Erde? Was macht euren Planeten aus?“ Was würden Sie antworten? Wären Sie ehrlich? Ein Essay von Sarah Lange.

Happiness economics is a branch in behavioral economics, where it explores the economics factors and consequences of happy humans. What makes people happier, and what benefits do we get when people are happier? This dossier introduces you to the field of happiness economics, from a review of economic factors proposed to influence people’s happiness, to a discussion of the economic consequences of happiness, and concludes with economic policy implications of happiness economics.

Esther Duflo discusses the fact that in social policy one cannot check the big questions, i.e. whether development assistance as an aggregate is helpful, because there is no counterfactual. She then suggests to focus on smaller questions such as what prevents or incentiveses people from immunizing their kids or whether mosquito bednets should be distributed for free. These questions can be answered by using randomized control trials as in the medical sciences. Thus, she argues, by bringing the experimental method to social policy analysis better decisions as to where allocate funds can be made.
