When facing risky decisions, individuals often make choices that deviate from those of a fully rational homo economicus. The “human touch” in decision making under risk is the theme of this workshop, with speakers from academia and practice exploring the effects of behavioral shortcomings on individual and group payoffs, as well as on the stability of systems such as financial markets. Central questions include how decision makers respond to incentives, and how behavioral insights can inform the design of systems that are resilient to both human (mis)behavior and randomness. Applications range from resource allocation and market mechanisms to operations and risk management.
