Kompetenzen

    • Know the most prominent decision theories. They are aware of the important human biases in financial decision making.
    • Understand how rational solutions can be found by applying classical decision models and are aware of the differences between these model solutions and the solutions humans normally come up with.
    • Solve decision problems by using DT models and quantitative methods. They find the strategic aspect of a problem and transform it into a simplified game/problem.
    • Analyze decision situations and decide which approaches are useful to handle them.
