Dr. Robert Shiller, Nobel Laureate in Economics in 2013, will discuss his new book called Narrative Economics . In his talk, he will describe stories that humans have built around a particular environment which can influence human actions and ultimately, collectively, influence the entire economy. These stories can range from believing that tech stocks can only go up, that housing prices can never go down, or that this time is different. In some ways, Shiller’s narrative economics ties into Keynes’s idea of animal spirits, where these spirits are people’s collective beliefs in an appealing story. Finally, he will share some other gems from his life in the Q&A with USF's Professor Ludwig Chincarini
