MIND AND BEHAVIOUR RESEARCH GROUP

The Mind and Behaviour Research Group brings together economists, psychiatrists, and psychologists based at the University of Oxford as part of the Centre for the Study of African Economies. Their aim is to investigate the psychological impact of living in poverty and use findings to improve policy programmes.

ABOUT THE MBRG

The Mind and Behaviour Research Group (MBRG) conduct rigorous research on how psychology shapes economic decision-making, with a key focus on how the insights from behavioural science can inform anti-poverty programmes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Alongside their research, the MBRG also curates a set of resources for researchers seeking to apply psychological measures in their research, and summarises insights from behavioural research for policy makers and practitioners. The MBRG's main aim is to spark new policy conversations on using behavioural science in anti-poverty programmes.
