100 cards

Overview

This deck offers a structured introduction to behavioral economics, a field that explores how real people make decisions that deviate from the predictions of classical economic theory. The cards move from foundational concepts and key figures like Kahneman and Tversky through core ideas such as prospect theory, loss aversion, and the endowment effect. You will also find cards connecting these ideas to practical domains like investing, labor supply, and real estate markets.

The deck is well suited for students encountering behavioral economics for the first time, as well as anyone reviewing the topic for an exam or professional setting. Because the cards progress from definitions to applications, beginners can build a solid conceptual base before tackling the more applied questions, while more experienced learners can use it as a targeted refresher.

To get the most out of these cards, try working through the conceptual questions first so the terminology is fresh before you tackle the applied ones. When you return for review, focus extra attention on the cards that connect theory to real-world behavior, since those tend to be the easiest to confuse under time pressure. Spacing your review across a few short sessions rather than cramming will help the distinctions between closely related concepts, like the disposition effect and the endowment effect, stick more reliably.
