June 17, 2021. 2:00 PM ET. Improving the National Flood Insurance Program: How Psychology and Economics Can Be Brought Together to Inform and Drive Policy. Howard Kunreuther, University of Pennsylvania. Sponsored by HIBAR Research Alliance. Register here.
Dr. Howard Kunreuther will discuss how psychology and economics can be brought together to help society better manage low-probability, high-consequence events related to technological and natural hazards. Our innate human biases make it difficult for us to assess the risk of unlikely events, and it is important to understand that while we cannot prevent these biases, it is both possible and necessary to develop and implement policies that manage the risks appropriately.
