| Title |
The psychology and economics of negotiations |
| Description |
Negotiations are a central element of economic decision-making processes—within firms as well as in political, institutional, and private contexts. This course provides the economic foundations of strategic negotiation and systematically integrates them with empirical insights from behavioral economics and psychology.
The focus lies on game-theoretic models, concepts such as BATNA, ZOPA, coalition formation, and contingent agreements, as well as contemporary behavioral findings on decision-making and strategic influence. Students learn to analyze negotiation situations in a structured manner, identify integrative potential, and critically evaluate and strategically deploy empirical evidence.
The course is practice-oriented: Through numerous simulations, students directly apply theoretical concepts and reflect on their strategic and institutional implications. |
