Explore Behavioral Economics
We are a student-run organization at Cal that blends economics and psychology to delve into the 'why' behind our decisions— like why we splurge on things we don’t need. Behavioral Economics isn't just theory; it's the foundation for creating better products, conducting smarter research, and crafting effective strategies. Whether you’re interested in consulting, product management, or research, BEA offers hands-on experiences to help you apply this powerful knowledge in the real world.
