Understanding how people make choices is important for the design of public policies, marketing strategies, product design and business investment decisions.  Recent advances in theory and empirical methods have resulted in significant improvement in our understanding of human choice behaviour and our ability to analyze and predict choice behaviour.  This course will provide an overview of theory and methods in modelling choice behaviour and will include empirical analysis of selected examples.  The course is relevant to researchers with interests in marketing, environmental economics, health economics, transportation economics, consumer product demand analysis and other areas.
