About the Event:
Why do discounts, trends, and emotions influence our decisions more than we realize? Join us on March 19 at 12:00 p.m. in the Akian Gallery for a thought-provoking panel discussion titled “Why Do People Overspend?” exploring the issue from behavioral, macroeconomic, and marketing perspectives.
Moderated by Dr. Gurgen Aslanyan, the panel will feature Dr. Hayk Kamalyan, Dr. Vardan Baghdasaryan, and Levon Baghdasaryan (MBA ’17).
If you plan to apply for the Master of Science in Economics (MSE) program, this discussion will offer valuable insight into how economic theory connects with real-world financial behavior and decision-making.
From cognitive biases and behavioral patterns to marketing strategies and broader economic forces, this discussion will unpack the real drivers behind overspending, and what they mean for individuals and markets alike.
