你掌握著自己的人生嗎？你做的選擇是理性的嗎？還是規律的不理性呢？
經濟和心理領域都很關心人們所做的選擇，到底我們是如同經濟學所說，是理性的，還是我們在做選擇的時候，總是會像許多心理的研究一樣，充滿著常態性的偏誤和不理性呢？
台灣獼猴和蒼蠅，又可以在研究人類抉擇的領域裡，告訴我們什麼呢？本週，我們將從許多的角度分析人類，討論表面上看似衝動、不一致的選擇背後，究竟隱藏著什麼不為人知的秘密。
如果你也想看到自己選擇背後的秘密，就來聽聽看本週的講座吧！

摘要:
Economists and psychologists share a common interest in understanding choices/behaviors. Economic theories of rationality can provide a starting point for psychologists to explore whether choices are rational and, if not, whether they are predictably irrational. I use three experiments to illustrate how questions in economics may be answered from various angles. I discuss how preferences may be context-dependent in humans, whether choices behind the veil of ignorance are related to inequity aversion in Formosan macaques, and whether there is evidence that fruit flies may tell time.

講者簡介:
Professor Chen-Ying Huang received her Ph.D. from Harvard University. Her research interest is in experimental economics. She is keen on understanding preferences/choices. Collaborating with neuroscientists, psychologists, and biologists, she uses various techniques such as fMRI, rTMS, and eyetracking to answer her curiosity.
