Introducing Behavioural Economics Why don’t we make better decisions? The emerging science of Behavioural Economics is increasing our understanding of the way we make decisions. This knowledge is helping businesses develop more profitable models, regulators more effective controls and governments more efficient incentives. This session will look at the theories underpinning the science and consider some of the more common decision errors. As we go through the session, we’ll consider how the ideas we’re discussing influence reactions to climate change and the extent behavioural economics can both explain the worrying, and growing, backlash against climate commitments and perhaps offer solutions. By the end of the seminar you will have a greater insight into the ways a gentle nudge may be more effective than a hefty shove! “Very interesting and engaging talk” James Siggee, Aquaterra Energy “Exceeded my expectations and made me question my automatic thought processes in the way I work” Maria Codling, NatWest Agenda
