Join IFTF at the RAND Behavioral Finance Forum | October 21
Join IFTF, Nobel Laureate Robert J. Shiller, and Senior White House Advisor Maya Shankar for Behavioral Finance Conference in Washington, D.C.
IFTF is collaborating with the RAND Corporation for its annual Behavioral Finance Forum, Consumer Financial Decision Making: Implications for the Changing Landscape of Technology, the On-Demand Workforce and Health-Care Choices, in partnership with the Aspen Institute in Washington, D.C.
In September, President Obama signed an order to encourage federal agencies to utilize behavioral science research and insights in policy decisions. The forum will explore the evolving and more-complex nature of behavioral finance decision making in the context of the emerging on-demand workforce and the post-Affordable Care Act era. Presentations and panel discussions will examine the evidence base in behavioral economics and finance and explore implications for the future.
Devin Fidler and Rachel Maguire will share the latest research from our Workable Futures Initiative and Health Futures Lab's research, Rethinking Care Models in the Post-ACA Decade.
The event is free and open to the public with registration. The live stream will be available below if you can't attend in person.
Watch the live stream on October 21, 8:00 - 5:30 pm EST:
