Abstract
The rising behavioral and experimental economics is studied through a survey of top 100
academic institutions in economics and econometrics. The survey found that this subject
is relatively popular where around 44% of academic institutions offer this course to
undergraduate students. Another survey on publication interest found a surge since 2002
that was experienced by this subject along with only a few of other subject such as labor
economics and business economics. Lastly, four short experiments to undergraduate
students were conducted in Indonesia to explain economics and this activity seems to
support the student-centered learning that has since became the focus of the Directorate
General of Higher Education in Indonesia.
