Summary: The analysis of financial risk often focuses on properties and characteristics of the financial system that may lead to increased instability and, in extreme cases, systemic failure and collapse.

This topical meeting will examine the human factor in financial risk from the perspectives of behavioral economics, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience, and will integrate those perspectives with views from leading members of the financial community.
