In this conversation, Kelly and Dan discuss how behavioral science can inform COVID-19 communication and polices, including the challenges created by uncertainty and risk perception.
Dan Ariely's ground-breaking experimental research and prolific writing has made him one of the most prominent leaders in the field of Behavioral Economics; an interdisciplinary science combining psychology and economics to understand human behavior and decision-making.
Dan's writing on irrational decision-making in the marketplace has been featured in the most prominent academic journals and in a variety of popular media outlets such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, among many others.
