Support for EC310 Behavioural Economics at LSE
Our tutoring for EC310 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, essays, data-based tasks and exam preparation, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.
Students often struggle with:
- understanding the relationship between loss aversion and social preferences without losing sight of the economic intuition
- applying present bias and self-control in analytical work and using heuristics and inattention in problem sets, essays or data-based questions
- selecting the right model, explaining its assumptions and showing enough analytical detail
- building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
Our tutors can help by:
- Rebuilding the intuition behind loss aversion and its relationship with social preferences
- Working through models, diagrams and algebra involving present bias and self-control
- Applying heuristics and inattention to evidence, policy questions or real-world examples
- Practising problem sets and exam answers with clear economic reasoning
- Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of EC310 that feel unclear
