About the Speaker<\/p>\n

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ (IFoA’s) biannual Thought Leadership Lecture will this time be delivered by Michael Sanders, Chief Scientist and Head of Research and Evaluation at the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT). His team supports BIT\u2019s policy work through the design and analysis of randomised controlled trials, as well as the use of quasi-experimental methods and data science. The team also leads a series of trials encouraging charitable donations, volunteering, and social action.<\/p>\n

Michael is an Associate Fellow of the Blavatnik School of Government, and an affiliate of the Harvard Behavioral Insights Group. He teaches experimental design at the University of Bristol. He holds an MSc in Economics and Public Policy, and a PhD in Economics, both from the University of Bristol.<\/p>\n
