The role of messages and communication methods in affecting behavior. An introduction to Behavioral Economics.
Webinar dictated by Dr. Carlos Scartascini and Organized by: AFE

Event sponsored by the Secretariat of Addictions Córdoba

La Silla Vacia

The Government's decision to make the quarantine more flexible is a bet that implies a change in the behavior of Colombians in public space, on which the success or failure of the measure will depend, to a large extent. We invited three experts in behavioral sciences to this "Talk at La Silla" to understand the implications of this crisis on our habits and life in society. They are Santiago Borda, Instinctive Partner, behavioral science consultant; María Cecilia Dedios, professor and researcher at the School of Government of the Universidad de los Andes and Carlos Scartascini, Leader of the IDB's Behavioral Economics Group.

On the second day of Forbes HealthCare Week, three specialists analyzed the other side of the pandemic crisis: the emotional impact and behavior of society. Flavio Toxvaerd from the University of Cambridge, Carlos Scartascini from the IDB and Fernando Torrente from INECO, spoke about the perception of risk and the differences in the scientific approach to managing the pandemic.
