David Tuckett at TEDxWarwick

Working across Economics, Medical Sociology and Psychoanalysis, David Tuckett focuses on using psychoanalysis to understand behaviour in financial markets and the economy.

He has developed new approaches to decision-making under deep uncertainty: conviction narrative theory (CNT), and directed algorithmic text analysis. This talk touches upon the remarkable feature of his findings: for the first time, there is statistical demonstration that emotional shifts in narratives indicate the growth of financial risk.

Working across Economics, Medical Sociology and Psychoanalysis, David Tuckett is a Professor and Director of the Centre for the Study of Decision-Making Uncertainty at University College London. Since winning a 2006 Leverhulme Research fellowship for a 'psychoanalytic study of investment markets', David has focused on using psychoanalysis to understand behaviour in financial markets and the economy. His book, Minding the Markets: An Emotional Finance View of Financial Stability, opened new ways of thinking about economics and finance.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
