Last year I joined the World Economic Forum as a member of the Global Agenda Council on Decision Making and Incentive Systems chaired by Richard Thaler.
We met in Dubai during the Summit on the Global Agenda from november 20 to 22, 2009 and spent three days of fruitful interactions. It was good to work with other people interested in applying behavioral sciences to public policy.
The 2010 Global Agenda Council Reports book is now published. You can download it here (pdf, 353 pages)
The 2010 Global Agenda Council Report summarizes the work of all the councils including ours and some we interacted with such as the GAC on Chronic Diseases and Conditions and the one on Design (see the interaction map below).
