Abstract:

Individuals have an increasing range of choices, and responsibilities, for managing their own financial affairs. As human decision-makers we are boundedly rational at best, and most of us have limited experience of, or interest in, financial decisions. In this seminar we will review key behavioural biases which may impact financial decision-making, such as time-inconsistent preferences and the annuity puzzle. We will discuss some of Data61’s research into this area, including engagement with superannuation, drawdown decision-making and perceptions of automated financial advice. Further opportunities for applying data-driven behavioural insights to support those making these decisions will be considered.
