Presentation

You will form groups to present a chapter of Ariely's Predictably Irrational, starting from week 3. You will have to show in 10 minutes (a) what assumption (made by standard theory) is violated in this chapter, (b) which theorem would be different (and how) if we drop this assumption, and (c) when and where do you think this assumption holds (or not hold). To illustrate, I will present chapter 1 on week 2.
