Acknowledgments

The author acknowledges the following organizations and individuals for their support in helping to make this book a reality:

The Fulbright Specialist Program, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and the United States Department of State who provided me with the opportunity to teach a mini-course in behavioral economics to faculty at the Meiktila University of Economics in Myanmar during the summer of 2019. This experience provided the impetus and formed the basis of A Practicum in Behavioral Economics.

My students and administrators at Meiktila University of Economics, who intrepidly crossed the language barrier and willingly participated in the book’s maiden voyage. They showed me just how powerful the approach used in A Practicum in Behavioral Economics can be in bringing the field of behavioral economics to life.

Nick Gittins and Stephanie Western, Open Educational Resources Coordinator and Program Manager, respectively, and their colleagues and staff at the University Libraries Digital Initiatives, Utah State University, who helped turn my initial draft of the book into a reality.

And last, but certainly not least, my wife, Frances Caplan, who encouraged me to make the trip to Myanmar and to take a chance on transforming the experience into the book you now hold.
