Behavioral research has emerged as a powerful tool to develop consumer protection policy and improve the supervision of financial institutions' behavior. Evidence from CGAP's work in emerging markets shows how behavioral research improves understanding of firm and consumer behavior resulting in creative new approaches to policy design.
Through examples of CGAP and others' policy work, and a conversation between a behavioral researcher and a policymaker, this webinar will demystify behavioral research and show clear and actionable measures policymakers can take to design better policy approaches to consumer protection.
The webinar explores: - What is behavioral research and why does it matter for consumer protection policy?
- How can policymakers use behavioral research to improve consumer protection policies?
- What resources are needed to get started, and where to find them?
