INET Oxford Working Papers from Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford

Abstract: Can insights from a starling's foraging behaviour help bank's identify which customers are most likely to repay their loans? To prevent another financial crisis, will regulators need to understand how testosterone affects young men? Are policy makers applying behavioural insights naively? The overall objective of this paper is to bring together different insights gained from the study of risk in a range of scientific disciplines, to provide the background reading necessary to start the discussion on how insights from these diverse empirical and theoretical approaches may be applied to answer major outstanding issues in financial regulation and policy.
