Dear Behavioural Science cluster,
Here’s an upcoming event for everyone interested in Behavioural Finance: In two weeks’ time, Arman Eshraghi<https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/eshraghia> is coming to Stirling to give a research seminar. Arman is a Professor of Finance and Investment at the University of Cardiff and is heavily involved in the Behavioural Finance Working Group<https://www.behaviouralfinance.org/people/>.
The talk is scheduled for Wednesday 29th November, 14:00 in Campus Central C.3.04. The tentative title of the talk is: Investor Technophilia: Market Reactions to Disclosure of Emerging Technologies
The plan is to take him for lunch in the Court Hotel beforehand, and to dinner in the evening. If you would like to join either of these, please get in touch with Isaac (isaac.tabner(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:isaac.tabner@stir.ac.uk>).
Best wishes,
Till

Hi Dave,
If you think any staff or PhD students in the Division might be interested in this (https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/61202/sports-economics-and-natu…), can you please pass it on?
It's a new call for papers for an issue/topic in Frontiers in Behavioural Economics, that i am co-editing. I hope it could be of particular interest to PhD students (or keen dissertation students) who might enjoy or learn from trying to replicate/extend some Sports-based empirical economics papers.

Dear Till,
I hope this email finds you well. Many thanks again for organising the workshop last week – I and my colleagues from the FCA found it incredibly interesting and useful for our work.
I wanted to make you aware of a job we’re currently recruiting for within the Behavioural Economics & Design Unit (BDU), which may be relevant for any recent/ soon-to-be completing PhD candidates in behavioural/ experimental economics (or similar) at Stirling (or elsewhere).
We’re currently hiring for a full time, permanent, Lab Manager role, for someone to oversee the teams’ in-house experiment capabilities. This role is broader than typical academic ‘lab manager’ roles. While it would predominantly involve designing and coding experiments as well as managing the lab, the candidate would have the opportunity to develop wider stakeholder engagement skills as a member of the BDU team.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to develop their experimental design and coding skills while gaining valuable experience conducting online and field experiments within the heart of a regulator. Because of this we think it could be a great role for a recent behavioural/ experimental economics (or similar) PhD candidate looking to get applied experience and develop wider stakeholder skills. We typically use oTree and Qualtrics for our online experiments but experience with these specific platforms is not required.
It would be great if you could share this opportunity with anyone you think would be interested. I would also be more than happy to have an informal conversation with anyone who might be interested if they wish to reach out.
The role profile can be found here: Lab manager (senior associate) position<https://fca.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/FCA_Careers/details/Behavioural-Ins…>. The advert closes on November 7th, and the initial application process just requires submission of a CV.
Best wishes,
Cameron

Hi all,
We are delighted that Carl Singleton, who will be joining the economics division in January, is visiting campus next week.
Carl will present a paper that is of particular interest to the behavioural science group - 2-3pm in room 4b96, Tuesday 31 2-3pm.
The title of his paper is "Gambling on Momentum in Contests" and it is about a behavioural bias in forecasting. It uses sports betting to demonstrate an illusion of momentum.
Looking forward to seeing you there,
Dave

Dear colleagues,
[Sorry for cross-posting]
I am extremely pleased to announce that the Behavioural Science Centre is hosting a one-day workshop on "Behavioural Science and Digital Markets Regulation” on Friday, 20 October 2023.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in behavioural regulatory policy and practitioners from the field (such as CMA, FCA, Ofgem, Ofcom, BIT).
The list of seven speakers is book-ended by two absolute powerhouses in the field:
* Fiona Scott Morton<https://som.yale.edu/faculty-research/faculty-directory/fiona-m-scott-morton> (Yale) serves as the Theodore Nierenberg Professor at Yale School of Management and was appointed Chief Economist of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Competition (but that is a story for another day). Prior to this, she served as the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Economics at the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division.
* Amelia Fletcher CBE<https://research-portal.uea.ac.uk/en/persons/amelia-fletcher> (East Anglia & CMA) is a Professor of Competition Policy, Non-Executive Director of CMA, and member of the Enforcement Decision Panel at Ofgem. Her past roles include Non-Executive Director of FCA, HM Treasury-commissioned Digital Competition Expert Panel Chief Economist, and Senior Director at the Office of Fair Trading. She was appointed OBE (in 2014) and CBE (in 2020) for her services to economic policy and the economy.
The lineup is complemented by five further speakers who are leading experts in their fields:
* Pete Lunn<https://www.esri.ie/people/pete-lunn> (Founder and head of ESRI’s Behavioural Research Unit & Adjunct Professor at Trinity College Dublin)
* Elisabeth Costa<https://www.bi.team/people/elisabeth-costa/> (Managing Director of BIT)
* Laura Smart<https://www.fca.org.uk/insight/author/laura-smart> (Senior Economist at CMA, formerly leader of the Behavioural Economics and Design Unit at FCA)

Subject: Honorary lecturer
Hi Kevin and Sam,
I introduce you to one another - Kevin, Sam is the graduate from our MSc who I nominate as an honorary lecturer. Here is the justification that the board is seeking - let me know if there is anything I can help with:
Sam Shand is partnering with Prof David Comerford around the delivery of the MSc Behavioural Science. Sam is representing Cowry Consulting, one of the UK's foremost behavioural science consulting agencies. Cowry works predominantly with organisations in the financial services (e.g. Tesco Bank), retail (Ocado), public (Reducing Reoffending Partnership) and third (Dog’s Trust) sectors.
Cowry have developed a program to partner with academic institutions that offer programs in behavioural economics and behavioural science. So far they have partnered The University of Manchester, City University of London, Keele University, and Kingston University London.
The goal of the partnership is that our MSc students gain insights from someone working at the coalface of applied behavioural science; who knows about what clients demand and the challenges of applying behavioural science in organisations; and who has a sense of the market demand for behavioural science and up-coming areas in the industry.
An added benefit is that the partnership means that two of our MSc students will automatically be offered places on Cowry’s competitive Summer School. In addition, we will have the opportunity to nominate one of our students to receive a two-week period of work experience with Cowry.
The benefit for Cowry from this is that they will have a direct pipeline of well-trained behavioural scientists whom they can directly recruit to their graduate scheme. One key intention of the partnership with Stirling is to broaden this pipeline outside of London.
Sam Shand and Course Director David Comerford have worked out a model where Sam will deliver 4 guest lectures on applied behavioural science over the course of the academic year. Sam will also help to refine an existing assignment on the program - an experimental design project. Students will work with Sam and Prof Comerford to tailor the experiment we design so that it yields data that informs a live Cowry project.
In addition to the above, Sam will deliver a careers talk to students across the university on opportunities in Behavioural Science.
Moreover, Sam is exceptionally well placed to deliver on the above because Sam is a graduate of our MSc Behavioural Science at Stirling. At Stirling, Sam was jointly awarded our Research Based Learning Prize' - awarded for the best behavioural science dissertation and earned a distinction in his MSc. Prior to coming to Stirling, Sam spent the first 4 and half years of his career working in Organisational Change consultancy, primarily at the Pricewaterhouse Coopers consulting firm.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Sam,
Really good to talk on Friday and to see you again.
I had a meeting with our head of school and he likes this idea. I see no reason not to go with option 3 - Scale. I'll be in touch to work out with you a set of lectures that suits us all and to brainstorm about the group project. You might remember the experiment on antibiotic disposal that we did as a class in the Evidence-Based Decision Making module. I think it would be great if you provided us with a real-world problem and our students could work with me (and maybe you) to design a survey experiment that speaks to that problem.
Kevin has to run your title past the higher ups but says there are precedents and as long as Cowry is not shown to be e.g. colluding with the Russian mafia it should go through no problem. Given that you would be involved in teaching / assessment the title would be "honorary lecturer". Has a formidable ring to it!
Let me know next steps - we have induction for our incoming students on Monday. It seems like a good motivator to flag at the induction that the summer school places and work experience will be offered this summer.
Cheers,
Dave
