The lecture entitled ‘Risk propensity and what comes of it, or how behavioural economics helps you not to get trapped in financial decisions’ will be conducted by Ph.D. Elżbieta Babula.  Moderator: Associate Professor Anna Blajer - Gołębiewska

The development of behavioural economics is, according to some, contributing to a revolution in economics. By including psychological factors in the analysis, what has economics based on observations of economic decisions established so far? Is it known what mistakes people make and how to avoid them in order to make the right decisions and achieve financial success?

Risk propensity and traps in financial decisions can be explored. It is useful to be aware of the different attitudes to risk by different groups of investors, and perhaps even be able to assess your own level of investment risk propensity.
