Learning Objective

  • Understand the difference between an “Econ” and a “Human”
  • Explore some of how our behavior may be “Predictably Irrational” (the title of a Dan Ariely book on the topic)
  • Identify some common psychological shortcuts, including “mental accounting,” “the endowment effect,” and “narrow framing,” and learn how to counteract them through conscious planning
  • Consider how to accept our inevitable humanness and still make good planning decisions for the long-term

Course Overview

When Richard Thaler won the 2017 Nobel Price in Economics for his “contributions to behavioral economics” it was a major recognition from the very top of the field that this discipline matters. Thaler posits that “Econs,” the fictional beings who populate most economic models and always behave rationally, are not exactly similar to those of us in the real world (“Humans”) who make decisions for all sorts of reasons we don’t entirely think through.

Analyzing real-world human behavior, and uncovering some of the triggers behind it, can help us optimize decision-making about our finances.

This course covers the following Major Topics: 

  • Overview of Behavioral Economics
  • Spending
  • Saving
  • Retirement Planning
  • Investing
  • Insurance
  • Taxes
  • Laziness

In this CPE Finance Webinar, we’ll look at some of the major findings of experts in this field and learn how to apply “Econ” thinking in some key areas where we can benefit from it.

Catherine Mccray, CPA (US)

It is an excellent course that gave me a different perspective on how and why many individuals avoid many strategies that can benefit them. I will use the knowledge I gained to help my clients understand their options and help them better understand the impact of their acting or not acting.

Havilah Mann, CPA (US)

I also love Sumo Citrus, agree they are shockingly expensive, and also well worth the price. Excellent course! I will sign up for all of Heather Liston's offerings. Thank you!
