We routinely hold mistaken beliefs about facts that matter for our choices: how much education actually pays off, whether experts agree or disagree on important issues, or about characteristics of different social groups. Can simply providing accurate information change what people believe and how they act?

Michal Bauer will show how field experiments — with thousands of participants in schools, health campaigns, and post-conflict settings — can answer this question, and why information sometimes changes behaviour (and sometimes not).

The talk will be followed by a Q&A session.
