Genetics, Economic Choices, and Socioeconomic Status | 2022 PEP Convening

New, interdisciplinary research is uncovering how facets of our psychology–including cognition, beliefs, aspirations, and norms–impact decision-making, with downstream consequences for health, economic outcomes, and well-being. This work is especially important in the context of poverty and resource scarcity, where findings can be used to design programs that improve lives.
On April 1st, 2022, CEGA’s fourth annual Psychology and Economics of Poverty (PEP) Convening brought together researchers, implementing partners, and policymakers to share original work in this space.

Speaker: Leandro Carvalho, Assistant Professor, University of Southern California
