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. 

Our aim is to investigate the psychological impact of living in poverty and use findings to improve policy programmes.

What we do

Build body of evidence

• Conduct rigorous research on how psychology shapes economic decision-making.

Share research methods

• Provide access to psychological measures and instruments to aid future research.

Talk to policymakers

• Spark new policy conversations on using behaviour science in anti-poverty programmes.
