The Network for Integrated Behavioural Science - The Science of Consumer Behaviour
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Nottingham
Abstract
Changes in the domain and complexity of consumer decision making raise key challenges for modern societies. Increasingly governments transfer responsibility for complex decisions away from the state towards the individual. The decline of state provision of social insurance and financial security has seen very important decisions, such as over retirement saving and personal protection insurance, become the responsibility of consumers, just as more familiar but often also highly complex decisions are. This project will drive forward scientific understanding of consumer behaviour in the face of difficult choices and of how public policy can intervene most effectively to promote their success.
The modern consumer faces decisions of bewildering complexity, with choices to be made between numerous options differing from one another in multiple ways. Consider e.g. all the specifications of mobile phone and new car available in typical modern economies, and all the different pension schemes or insurance products. Besides the number and complexity of the options, consumers face uncertainty e.g. about reliability, service quality or resale value. Even when a great deal of information is available, it may be framed by firms or suppliers in ways intended to induce particular customer responses e.g. via complex utility tariffs or terms and conditions for financial products. Many choices involve consideration of costs and benefits spread over time, e.g. lifestyle and savings decisions, or large consumer durable purchases.
Decades of research in behavioural science and psychology, and recent developments in behavioural economics, show that many individuals find even quite simple decisions difficult, are not always consistent, and often behave in ways reflecting biased or poor decision processes. The results can be highly detrimental to consumers concerned and, sometimes, to wider society.
Our research programme, drawing on economics and psychology and at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary behavioural science, will advance understanding of consumer behaviour. Theme 1 will study foundations of individual choice, with particular attention to decision processes and consumers' responses to features of their environment. Theme 2 will examine how firms frame and structure environments for actual and potential customers in the light of behavioural characteristics of consumers of varying sophistication. It will focus on how firms' strategies affect and are in turn affected by competition between firms. Understanding this interaction is vital to successful regulation of consumer markets. Theme 2 will also study the form of appropriate regulation directly, in collaboration with UK regulatory bodies. Theme 3 will apply lessons of behavioural science to personal and household financial decision making - an area of consumer behaviour that typifies the combination of choice between multiple, complex products; uncertainty; time; and potential for serious consumer detriment.
The work will be carried out by a team that is built out of, and develops, the existing Network for Behavioural Science, the hub of which is a partnership between leading behavioural science groups at the Universities of Nottingham, East Anglia and Warwick. The team will include world-renowned psychologists and economists, emerging scientists and team members with direct experience of consumer market regulation. The team will conduct and publicise research that achieves international academic recognition through publication in top-flight scientific journals and conferences. It will enhance the consumer environment for citizens by influencing policy formulation and consumer market regulation in the UK. By creating new data sets, training and nurturing researchers, and fostering an international research network with links between academics, the private sector and policy makers, the project will increase the research capacity of UK universities in behavioural science.

Planned Impact
The overarching aim of our proposal for continuation of the Network for Integrated Behavioural Science (NIBS) is to enhance the understanding of consumer behaviour and the well-being of individuals by improving decision making, the performance of markets, and policy and regulatory interventions in them.
Behavioural science offers transformative insights into how consumers make decisions, how firms respond to consumers, and what regulators and policy makers can do to improve decision making and the functioning of markets. Since its inception, NIBS has been at the forefront of translating academic research in behavioural science into policy-relevant applications. The structure of our future research plan is again to develop foundations and apply them, with the latter a major emphasis of our new research themes. There is scope for wide ranging application of our work across all themes but, given the scale of the project, we prioritise two of the most important areas here: financial decision making and competition policy.
We will expand the scope for influence of our research by developing new links with regulators and industry, forming collaborations with the Centre for Competition Policy and welcoming co-researchers on to the grant who hold Non-Executive Director roles at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and the new cross-governmental UK Competition Network. These new project members bring the highest-level partnership with regulators and very extensive experience of bringing behavioural insights to bear on regulatory thinking across the UK policy environment.
We will also develop new ways of working which strengthen interaction and co-production of work with the research user community, by allocating time of post-doctoral research fellows to collaboration with the FCA's Behavioural Economics and Data Science Team, led by Dr Stefan Hunt. We see dedicated postdoctoral appointments as an ideal catalyst for increased collaboration. Postdoctoral fellows will hold academic research positions at NIBS institutions and spend a significant share of their time on location at the FCA, sitting within the FCA team.
We have developed collaborations with behavioural economics and data science groups within industry. One initiative involves collaboration with the data science team in a UK retail bank, a large player in the asset management industry with a 25% market share of privately managed asset portfolios in the UK, who have provided detailed asset trade data together with matched behavioural data from surveys. NIBS researchers have also developed a collaboration with the UK credit card sector and have combined transaction-level records for 1.8 million UK card holders from five credit card companies.
Our research will also inform and influence industry practices. Emerging research suggests that firms may be able to exploit the cognitive and behavioural biases of consumers. The possible resulting need for regulatory intervention provides the context for exciting and much needed future research work. The response of firms to 'behavioural consumers' is a focus of policy interest stressed in recent FCA studies (e.g. of the credit card market) and in other market studies (such as the CMA's Retail Banking Market Investigation).
NIBS researchers will continue to exploit the full scope of potential impacts, building on existing and new pathways, including statutory routes (consultation responses and presentations), expert advisory work and testimony, keynote addresses and contributions to public policy fora. We also seek new horizons of international impact, with a partnership with Gallup to investigate behavioural science issues worldwide. This collaboration has scope to achieve significant impact through dissemination of research findings through the news media.

| Description | The Network for Integrated Behavioural Science (NIBS) is a cross-disciplinary initiative developing and translating the science of human decision making. This grant was the second wave of ESRC funding for NIBS and "NIBS2" focussed on developing and applying the behavioural science of consumer behaviour. The programme was organised around three themes: (1) The Network for Integrated Behavioural Science (NIBS) is a cross-disciplinary initiative developing and translating the science of human decision making. This grant was the second wave of ESRC funding for NIBS and "NIBS2" focussed on developing and applying the behavioural science of consumer behaviour. The programme was organised around three themes: (1) Foundations for understanding consumer behaviour; (2): Market responses to consumers and regulation of markets; and (3) Applications in personal financial decision making. The programme generated wide-ranging findings reported in over 100 publications (as of March 2023). Under Theme 1, NIBS researchers conducted and reported numerous sub-projects investigating determinants of decision making and drawing on a range of conceptual approaches, theoretical modelling and empirical analysis. The latter drew extensively on analysis of field data plus a considerable body of new data gathered through numerous (lab and field) experiments, designed and conducted by NIBS2 researchers. Among the topics studied were the determinants of: ambiguity and risk preferences, including the role of emotions and information acquisition; information avoidance; inter-temporal choice and changes in time preferences across the life course; honest behaviour, the consequences of dishonest behaviour and other social influences on decision making (e.g. peer effects and relationship closeness); the psychological foundations of reasoning and bargaining; and subjective well-being. We also studied the roles of attention, learning and the impacts of framing and nudging. We provide more specific illustrations for the more applied Themes 2 and 3. Our Theme 2 example relates to growing public concern about the apparent unfairness of many trading practices that are emerging in (often digital) consumer markets, and which work only because 'naïve' consumers do not behave like the rational agents of traditional economics. In competitive markets, the overall effect is often to harm naïve consumers but to benefit sophisticated ones. That such practices should be regulated against as unfair is hard to express in terms of the standard welfare-economic categories of efficiency and distribution. Behavioural economists often treat unfair trading practices as exploiting psychological 'biases' which interpose between 'true' preferences and actual choices, but the concept of true preference is empirically ungrounded. Building on our earlier theoretical and philosophical work, we have developed a concept of transactional fairness that is distinct from efficiency and distribution, and does not presuppose true preferences. It establishes clear principles that can guide firms and regulators. Theme 3 translated new foundational insights into better understanding of consumer behaviour and detriment in financial markets. We built on the collaborations established during NIBS1, such as that with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). For example, in NIBS2, researchers worked with the FCA on behavioural field trials, testing interventions to reduce consumer detriment in the credit card market. In addition, researchers worked in partnership with the financial sector (including UK Cards, Barclays Stockbroking, and Lloyds Banking Group) on topics such as how consumers make debt repayment decisions across multiple credit cards and how consumers make diversification choices in stock portfolios. These insights supported product innovation and development among financial services. |
| Exploitation Route | We hope and expect that the outcomes of our project will benefit researchers and advance thinking in disciplines that study consumer behaviour, individual decision making, strategies of firms, and public policy. Such disciplines include e.g. economics, psychology, decision and management sciences, and disciplines concerned with regulation and public policy towards consumers, firms and consumer markets. Our work has already had impact on policy and thinking in various organisations including firms in the financial services sector and organizations in the UK regulatory sector. We expect the influence our our work to grow and we will document this further in our impact narrative statement in Researchfish, in due course. |

| Description | The NIBS Network has provided a forum for cutting edge cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional academic collaboration on behavioural science. Our research has resulted in evidence that will aid predication of consumer behaviour and inform those seeking to influence human behaviour. Members of the Network have been working, and continue to work, with an expanding range of organisations in the public sector, private sector and third sector who seek to influence the way humans behave in multiple ways, from encouraging better debt-management to improved medicines adherence or increased participation in democratic processes. We have pursued these connections through several routes, one of which has involved engaging non-academic stakeholders at NIBS events. This has led to collaborative research and sharing of ideas; access to data sets that may otherwise have been unavailable; and the opportunity for NIBS members to be active in external events organised by non-academic stakeholders, such as the FCA and CMA. We have developed numerous projects with public, private and third sector organisations involving various levels of collaboration with partners throughout the research. We will report more fully on project's impact at the next submission in 2024. Meanwhile current outputs are detailed in Researchfish and future outputs will be added as they arise. As of March 2023, Researchfish records over 250 engagement activities; more than 20 collaborations and partnerships and numerous influences on policy, practice, patients and the public. |

| Impact | The FCA has a business plan to deliver 'fair value in a digital age', indeed this is one of the regulator's four external priorities over the next few years. They aim to ensure consumers get fair value by having the right information about suitable products, by ensuring competition is available and that there is fair treatment for vulnerable customers. One aspect of this is using firms' reporting data tin order to identify firms that continue to engage in price walking (when new insurance customers receive more competitive and cheaper premiums compared to long-standing customers renewing their cover). |

| Impact | Following the publication of the Unlocking Digital Market report (Furman Review) and further work by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), it has now been reported in the Financial Times (27 November 2020) that the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has announced a 'Digital Markets Unit' will be launched in April 2021 inside the UK's existing competition watchdog - the CMA. This new new tech regulator will try to hold huge online platforms such as Google, Facebook and Amazon in check against their smaller rivals. Professor Amelia Fletcher (NIBS Co-Investigator) was appointed to the HM Treasury-commissioned Digital Competition Expert Panel, and was a co-author of the 'Unlocking Digital Markets' report (March 2019). She is Professor of Competition Policy at Norwich Business School and Deputy Director at the Centre for Competition Policy. She is a Non-Executive Director of the CMA, and has been a Non-Executive Director of the Financial Conduct Authority (2013-20). Her academic work focuses on competition policy, consumer policy and sector regulation, with a particular focus on behavioural economics and digital markets. She was appointed OBE in 2014 and CBE in 2020. |

| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | Research on approaches to measuring individual creativity will form part of the PhD project of Malte Baader, and is joint work with Urs Fischbacher (University of Konstanz). This also involves exchange visits between Nottingham and Konstanz. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The work builds on the results of a previous experiment which Malte developed in collaboration with Urs Fischbacher. Urs visited Nottingham In October/November 2018. |
| Impact | The primary objective of the proposed study is to try to develop and test a cost effective, fast and portable tool to measure an individual's creative problem-solving potential. Our hunch is that creativity is a meaningful individual-level characteristic and that understanding heterogeneity in creativity may be an important ingredient in developing and understanding of individual decisions and choice processes. And also that an individual's measured creativity may be predictive of features of their preferences or their choice processes. This has implications for choice-based decision making. |

| PI Contribution | Joerg Weber undertook a 5-day research visit to the University of Hamburg at the end of February 2018. The purpose of the research visit (funded through the NIBS Exchange Programme) was to work intensively on an existing project, and to deepen the established links with the Chair of Behavioural Finance. The project is about the role of inattention in consumer refinancing decisions, using a proprietary dataset from a large German bank that is exclusively available at the University of Hamburg. The data includes 2 million observations of all bank customers and their transactions who opened a specific revolving loan during the sample period. These customers are offered, by the bank, to switch to a cheaper loan, but many fail to do so. The data is uniquely suited to study the role of inattention on the failure to optimize, because we observe nudges in the form of letters and emails to the consumers, prompting them to refinance to the cheaper loan. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The dataset used for this research is exclusively available at the University of Hamburg. |
| Impact | This project has great potential because inattention is a topic that is currently of great academic and policy interest. The research visit enabled Joerg to take the project to the next level in an intensive face-to-face working period with the Chair of Behavioural Finance at Hamburg; and there are plans to present results to the data-providing bank later in 2018 |

| Results and Impact | The annual CCC meeting is a collaboration between CeDEx, CREED and CBESS - the three behavioural science centres at Nottingham, Amsterdam and East Anglia. It's a PhD-led workshop which gives students the opportunity to present their research to a wider than usual peer group. Responsiblity for hosting the meeting rotates between the three institutions and in 2019, it was the turn of the University of Amsterdam. A decision was made to extend the meeting in 2019 to also include Network colleagues from the University of Warwick. Presenting from NIBS were: Merle van den Akker (Warwick), Neo Poon (Warwick), Sarah Bowen (Nottingham), Malte Baader (Nottingham), Orestis Kopsacheilis (Nottingham), Prachi Hejib (UEA). Attending from NIBS were: Richard Mills (Nottingham), Lara Suraci (Konstanz/Nottingham), Sidney Sherborne (Warwick) Yu-Chun Huang (Warwick), Mengjie Wang (UEA), Professor Bob Sugden (UEA), Professor Chris Starmer (Nottingham). Also presenting was Valeria Burdea (former Nottingham PhD now at the University of Pittsburgh). Valeria has links with colleagues at one of our international partners (Carnegie Mellon University) so was invited to present through the NIBS Exchange Programme. The University of Amsterdam is also one of our NIBS international partners, so there was a good deal of opportunity for networking in between the presentations. The meeting took place 16 to 17 May2019. |

| Results and Impact | In April 2018, Amelia Fletcher and Bruce Lyons hosted a CCP workshop with the regulator Ofcom (in collaboration with NIBS) . This is part of a sponsorship scheme CCP has with seven major regulators. It was delivered by the full NIBS 2 team based at the University of East Anglia with added interventions from other CCP members. The aims were to understand consumer engagement with choice decisions, and the format consisted of short presentations by the team, followed by Ofcom sharing the research they have been doing. After lunch there was a roundtable discussion, drawing on the insights of the morning, to think about implications for regulation, Feedback from Ofcom was positive. They reported finding the session extremely interesting and stimulating, and felt the format worked well in terms of generating discussion and the exchange of ideas. They expressed a desire to follow up on some of the research/papers cited in the various presentations to help develop their understanding in this area and were interested in staying in touch with the work we are taking forward as part of the NIBS programme. |

The tricky and important bit, perhaps, is establishing the difference between the two. |

| Results and Impact | Despoina Alempaki was a participant in the "Leading Integrity" workshop which was organised by Warwick Business School (WBS) on 4 July at the Shard in London. The event was a series of information workshops to coordinate future research and action around the challenges related to improving organisational integrity. Each workshop focused on a different topic, facilitated by Edward Gardiner, Umar Taj and Avri Bilovich from the Behavioural Science group at WBS. The aim for each workshop was to frame the associated challenges and develop a plan for how we might collaborate on future research and action. The workshop topics were: 09.30 - 11.00: Culture: What are the components of an organisational culture that positively supports ethical behaviour? 11.30 - 13.00: Justifying inappropriate acts: What motivates unethical behaviour and what justifications do people use? 14.00 - 15.30: Technology: How is technology hindering or helping support ethical behaviour in organisations? 16.00 - 17.30: Transparency: How can we balance the need for publicity and privacy in highlighting and addressing unethical behaviours? About the project Honesty, trust, transparency, and mutual respect are hallmarks of excellent organisations; and strengthening such organisational integrity is typically a key aim of leaders and other employees, as well as, increasingly, being demanded by the media and the public. Yet a succession of high-profile scandals, ranging from safety failures, corruption, and false accounting to sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination, continue to plague business, charities and the public sector. It is easy to blame individual "bad apples" for problems with organisational integrity. But, more often than not, the incentives, culture and structure in an organisation may be the real culprits. This project aims to challenge, debate, and distil insights from considering how we should understand why businesses exists and how they, and their employees, can flourish. |

As part of her blog she has interviewed several academics from NIBS. Merle explains, "I take findings and insights from academia and explain them in simple(r) terms, so not just behavioural economists understand what is going on. I explore and explain the assumptions underlying the sciences of neoclassical economics, behavioural economics and psychology; and explain what a lot of heavy duty terms mean and how they are relevant. On a more practical note, I would like to show how you can fit scientific findings in your day to day life and be better for it". |

| Results and Impact | Our September 2018 NIBS workshop is for NIBS-funded colleagues and close collaborators. The aim of the workshop is to foster networking and opportunities for cross-institutional collaboration and working. The event was attended by academics and policy makers (in their capacity as members of our Advisory Group). On the programme was feedback on NIBS funded research, as well as introductions by our new NIBS PhD students and Post Docs. We also devoted one session to a discussion on policy issues (chaired by Bob Sugden) with the aim of identifying topics which are of interest to regulators. Our intention is to organise some small, focused workshops with regulators to address the issues we identified. The workshop took place from 17 to 19 September, at the University of Nottingham. |

| Results and Impact | Press release by the University of Nottingham to highlight the publication of our paper published in Nature Human Behaviour, September 2019. The paper acknowledges the support of both grants (NIBS 1 & 2) and was produced in collaboration with one of our international partners (Max Planck Institute of Human Development in Berlin). Abstract of the paper: Human groups can often maintain high levels of cooperation despite the threat of exploitation by individuals who reap the benefits of cooperation without contributing to its costs. Prominent theoretical models suggest that cooperation is particularly likely to thrive if people join forces to curb free riding and punish their non-contributing peers in a coordinated fashion. However, it is unclear whether and, if so, how people actually condition their punishment of peers on punishment behaviour by others. Here we provide direct evidence that many people prefer coordinated punishment. With two large-scale decision-making experiments (total n = 4,320), we create minimal and controlled conditions to examine preferences for conditional punishment and cleanly identify how the punishment decisions of individuals are impacted by the punishment behaviour by others. We find that the most frequent preference is to punish a peer only if another (third) individual does so as well. Coordinated punishment is particularly common among participants who shy away from initiating punishment. With an additional experiment we further show that preferences for conditional punishment are unrelated to well-studied preferences for conditional cooperation. Our results highlight the importance of conditional preferences in both positive and negative reciprocity, and they provide strong empirical support for theories that explain cooperation based on coordinated punishment. |

| Results and Impact | Pioneer of 'nudge' science and explorer of irrational decisions earns economics Nobel - article by Adrian Cho published in Science (online 9 October 2017). In his article Adrian talks about why people hold savings paying low interest rates rather than paying off credit card debts with higher interest rates, to highlight the work of Richard Thaler (recipient of the Nobel Prize). Quoted in the article are NIBS Principle Investigator, Chris Starmer (Nottingham) and NIBS Co-Investigator, Amelia Fletcher (UEA) who reflect on the importance of Richard's work on 'nudge' and its influence on policymakers. Although we are not directly aware of any impact from this specific article, the Award; and subsequent articles about 'nudge' and Richard's work, have no doubt raised the profile of behavioural economics. |

| Results and Impact | NIBS Co-Investigator, Gordon Brown (Warwick) gave a talk for the University of Nottingham's CeDEx seminar programme on 11 October 2017. Title: Social norms and polarisation: A cognitive model. Abstract: A process model of social norms and social influence is described. Individuals' private attitudes, and social norms, are assumed to be represented as distributions rather than single points. Individuals located within a social network observe the behavior of their network neighbors and hence infer the social distribution of particular attitudes and behaviors. Agents dislike behaving in ways that are extreme within their neighborhood social norm ("social extremeness aversion"), and hence have a tendency to conform. However agents also prefer to behave consistently with their own underlying attitudes ("authenticity preference"). Expressed attitudes and behavior reflect a utility-maximizing compromise between these opposing principles. The model, which is dubbed Social Sampling Theory, derives from cognitive models of judgment and is explored using agent-based modeling to link individual-level and network-level effects. The model is applied to social norm influence and a number of other social phenomena including (a) homophily and the development of segregated neighborhoods, (b) polarization, and (c) social contagion effects. |

| Results and Impact | In conjunction with the University of Sydney Workshop on Behavioural Economics: Foundations and Applied Research, Professor Graham Loomes of The University of Warwick undertake two half-day masterclasses. Different Ways of Incorporating Psychological Features into Decision Theory Tuesday 7 November, 2 to 5 pm 2017 There are now more than a hundred different models of decision making under risk. But how different are/can they all be? How can we better understand the overlaps and distinctions between them and what these represent in terms of the psychological features that may be involved? In this talk, I'll use a reasonably simple act-state framework to highlight inter-relationships between expected utility theory (EUT) and some of the more prominent alternative models. This talk will be restricted to deterministic models: variability is discussed in the second talk. Incorporating Variability and Error into Decision Theories Wednesday 8 November, 2 to 5 pm 2017 Ever since the earliest days of experimental studies of individual decision making under risk, it has been known that if a participant is presented with exactly the same scenario (choice or valuation) in exactly the same format on two or more occasions (sometimes separated by a few days but often only separated by a few minutes) he/she is liable to respond differently to at least some of those scenarios. In short, much decision making is probabilistic rather than deterministic. But what are the sources of such variability? How should we incorporate noise/error/imprecision into models? And what might be the implications for testing and discriminating between competing 'core' theories? |

| Results and Impact | This research paper looks at time limited offers for consumers. Dr. Wang said: "There are a number of psychological reasons for expecting consumers' choices to be biased in favour of time-limited offers (and) accepting a time-limited offer is less risky than continuing to search for a better price. A consumer who rejects the offer and continues to search may find that the rejected offer was in fact the best available, and this may induce painful feelings of regret. Choosing the offer and terminating the search process can be a method of avoiding regret."

This thesis has implications for theories in psychology, economics, and ethics which are explicitly, or implicitly, committed to "deep" motivations underpinning human life". |

| Results and Impact | 6 November 2018, Nick Chater presented his research at Ecole Normal Superieure (Paris). The University advertised the talk as follows: "The cognitive sciences often view thought as operating through tacit 'theories,' analogous to those of science. Such theories are organized sets of principles, which might be expressed in networks of beliefs, utilities, grammatical rules, moral norms, and more. But does a set of hidden, but general, theoretical principles really underpin thought and behavior? Finding such general principles has been a key goal in many areas of psychology, philosophy, linguistics and artificial intelligence. But our attempts to extract and formalize such principles lead continually rapidly into contradiction. I argue that such principles-and mental "depths" in general---are illusory. Instead, the brain generalizes flexibly from specific local problem; and gradually creates a tradition of 'precedents' for dealing with new problems. Thus, the mind is analogous to case-law---in which each new case is addressed by finding links with past cases---rather than to science---in which new situations are dealt with by referring to hidden general rules." |

Nick believes a small number of us would rebel against an oppressive regime, but not primarily based on differences in individual moral character. Instead the rebels would find different norms and ideals, shared with fellow members of the resistance, or inspired by history or literature, because breaking out of one set of norms requires that we have an available alternative. |
