All too often, economic policies are designed without a realistic view of how people and businesses make choices about what to buy, where to work, who to hire, and more. As a result, markets are less effective and equitable than they could be.
At BIT, we focus on all levels and levers of the economy, applying behavioural science to everything from improving policies to helping consumers and businesses make smarter choices for themselves and society.
Working with clients ranging from governments to businesses to large employers, BIT’s specialist teams have designed interventions that have increased workers’ long-term financial stability, equipped employers with strategies to recruit a diverse workforce, and shaped regulation that protects consumers from pensions scams.
