10 Behavioral Economics TED Talks for a stimulating coffee break

At Impactually we love TED Talks! We believe that great research should not stay in the ivory tower and we also believe that the attention span or the coffee break at work or the time before bed is limited. So TED Talks provide the perfect solution. Fantastic minds take the stage to give us a glimpse into their research in around 18 minutes. Below we have selected some of our favorite TED Talks on behavioral economics and related topics. We have some of the classics like Dan Ariely and Daniel Kahneman for the behavioral economics newbie, but we also picked some new speakers like Johannes Haushofer and Stefan Schubert, who you have probably never heard of with some new ideas.

The Classics

Rory Sutherland: Sweat the small stuff

Rising Stars you haven’t heard of yet

Stefan Schubert: What if politics was rational?

Bonus Talk

This bonus talk is not on behavioral economics, but we added it to the list because we love to show what you can do with data and how it can help us overcome our prejudice and biases. Everyone should see his cool graphs once!

Want to learn more about behavioral economics and science? Check out the preview of our online course “Get behavioral science to work for you”, at the bottom of the course page.

You can also download our free and easy-to-use Introductory Guide, which introduces the foundations of the field for people who want to work with behavioral science and nudging in practice.
