Humans aren’t rational… and yet so much economic modelling assumes we are.
In this episode, we look at a Canadian experiment that investigated the ‘gamification’ of investment apps… and how one minor tweak to the app saw people increase the number of trades by a whopping 40%.
We meet behavioural finance specialists Angel Zhong (RMIT University) and Ravi Dutta Powell (The Behavioural Insights Team) who explain how cognitive biases impact how we assess risk and make investment decisions.
