Case 2 ā€“ Institutional blind spots
BULLARD ā€“ ā€œMy sense is that the level of systemic risk associated 
with financial turmoil has fallen dramatically. For this reason, I think 
the FOMC should begin to de-emphasize systemic risk worries. [ā€¦] 
My sense is that, because the turmoil has been ongoing for some time, 
all of the major players have made adjustments [ā€¦]. They have done 
this not out of benevolence but out of their own instincts for self-preservation. 
[ā€¦] I say that the level of systemic risk has dropped 
dramatically and possibly to zero.ā€ 
LACKER ā€“ ā€œI want to commend President Bullardā€™s discussion of 
systemic risk. [ā€¦] To invoke the notion of systemic risk to support a 
particular policy course requires [ā€¦] some theory, some coherent 
understanding of the way you think the world works. The Committee 
might be surprised that the literature provides only relatively tenuous 
rationalesā€”I think is a fair judgmentā€”for policy intervention. To 
invoke the notion of systemic risk to support a particular policy course 
requires theory.ā€ 
MISHKIN ā€“ ā€œI have to disagree very strenuously with the view that, 
because you have been in a ā€œfinancial stressā€ situation for a period of 
time, there is no potential for systemic risk. In fact, I would argue that 
the opposite can be the case.ā€ 
BERNANKE ā€“ ā€œSystemic risk is an old phenomenon. There are 
literally dozens and dozens of historical episodes that are suggestive of 
that phenomenon. There is also an enormous theoretical literature.ā€

Greenspan: ā€œI found a flawā€ 
Mr. GREENSPAN. ā€œ[ā€¦] those of us who have looked to 
the self-interest of lending institutions to protect 
shareholders equity, myself especially, are in a state 
of shocked disbelief.ā€ 
Mr. GREENSPAN. ā€œI found a flaw in the model that I perceived is the critical 
functioning structure that defines how the world works, so to speak. ā€œ 
Chairman WAXMAN. ā€œIn other words, you found that your view of the world, your 
ideology, was not right, it was not working.ā€ 
Mr. GREENSPAN. ā€œPrecisely. Thatā€™s precisely the reason I was shocked, because I had 
been going for 40 years or more with very considerable evidence that it was working 
exceptionally well.ā€

Lanman and Mathews (2008) 
Hearing by the House Oversight Committee, 23 Oct 2008
On ideology in economics 
ā€œAs everyone knows, however, there is with us 
another source of confusion and another 
barrier to advance: most of us, not content 
with their scientific task, yield to the call of 
public duty and to their desire to serve their 
country and their age, and in doing so bring 
into their work their individual schemes of 
values and all their policies and politics - the 
whole of their moral personalities up to their 
spiritual ambitions.ā€ 
ā€œBut there exist in our minds preconceptions 
about the economic process that are much 
more dangerous to the cumulative growth of 
our knowledge and the scientific character of 
our analytic endeavours because they seem 
beyond our control in a sense in which value 
judgments and special pleadings are not. 
Though mostly allied with these, they deserve 
to be separated from them and to be discussed 
independently. We shall call them Ideologies.ā€ 
Schumpeter (1949)

World views, mindsets, groupthink 
ā€œif the Federal Reserve [ā€¦] is not capable of 
confronting this type of problem, I think it is telling us 
something about the nature of the problem which 
itself is incapable of being handled in the way we all 
would likeā€ 
Alan Greenspan, Congressional hearing Oct 2008 
ā€œI stood up at a Fed meeting in 2005 and said, ā€˜How 
many anecdotes [on mortgage fraud] makes it real? ... 
How many tens [of] thousands of anecdotes will it 
take to convince you that this is a trend?ā€ 
Margot Saunders, National Consumer Law Centre 
Patricia McCoy called it the ā€˜classic Fed mindsetā€™: ā€œIf 
you cannot prove that it is a broad-based problem that 
threatens systemic consequences, then you will be 
dismissedā€

World views, mindsets, groupthink 
@International Monetary Fund 
ā€œThe IEO found that the IMFā€™s ability to identify 
the mounting risks was hindered by a number 
of factors, including a high degree of groupthink; 
intellectual capture; and a general mindset that a 
major financial crisis in large advanced 
economies was unlikely. Governance 
impediments and an institutional culture that 
discourages contrarian views also played 
important roles.ā€ 
ā€œWhat is it that despite continued prodding and 
nudging by evaluations and investigations into 
the Fundā€™s workings makes this organisation so 
resistant to change?ā€

Governance: ā€œthe process of steering society and the economy through collective action and 
in accordance with some common objectives.ā€ 
Possible sources of failure: 
Torfing et al. (2012) 
ā€¢ The process and outcomes of ā€˜steeringā€™ 
ā€¢ The way collective action is decided, conducted, and who it affects 
ā€¢ The nature of the common objectives and how they are determined 
ā€¢ The impossibility to reflect on governance and its underlying assumptions and 
premises 
Reflexive governance: ā€œReflexive governance refers to the problem of shaping societal 
development in the light of the reflexivity of steering strategies ā€“ the phenomenon that 
thinking and acting with respect to an object of steering also affects the subject and its ability 
to steer.ā€ 
ā€œReflexive governance thus implies that one calls into question the foundations of 
governance itself, that is, the concepts, practices and institutions by which societal 
development is governed, and that one envisions alternatives and reinvents and shapes 
those foundations.ā€

Mindful individuals
Mindfulness is an approach ā€œto reduce cognitive vulnerability to 
stress and emotional distressā€ 
Two-component model of mindfulness 
ā€œThe first component involves the 
self-regulation of attention so 
that it is maintained on immediate 
experience, thereby allowing for 
increased recognition of mental 
events in the present moment.ā€œ 
ā€œThe second component involves 
adopting a particular orientation 
toward oneā€™s experiences in the 
present moment, an orientation 
that is characterized by curiosity, 
openness, and acceptance.ā€

Mindfulness in financial trading 
Goal: Translate key elements of 
mindfulness into the domain of 
financial decision-making and 
developing approaches to online 
delivery of mindfulness training. 
Study showed that less experienced 
traders had lower ability to regulate 
their levels of emotional arousal 
during stressful trading than more 
experienced traders. 
The fact that more experienced 
traders had learned to regulate their 
emotions pointed to emotion 
regulation as a skill that could be 
trained. 
Studies using physiological sensors 
with student participants identified 
mindfulness as a valid technique 
for managing emotional arousal.

Mindfulness in social psychology 
ā€œMindfulness is a flexible state 
of mind in which we are actively 
engaged in the present, 
noticing new things and 
sensitive to context.ā€ 
ā€œWhen we are in a state of mindlessness, 
we act like automatons who have been 
programmed to act according to the sense 
our behaviour made in the past, rather 
than the present.ā€œ 
Langer (2000). 
ā€œMost of the reigning theories held that human 
behaviour was the product of rational, calculated 
thoughtā€ 
ā€œLanger showed that instead of cognition 
determining behaviour, thinking ā€“ and sometimes the 
absence of it ā€“ often emerges from behaviour.ā€

Mindful organisations
The organisational perspective on crises 
Congressional hearings, the FCIC, and academic writings on the financial 
crisis have largely ignored insights and lessons from organisational 
research into change and crises. Important themes from that literature 
are: 
ā€¢ Normal accident theory 
ā€¢ High reliability organisations 
ā€¢ Organisational learning 
ā€¢ Sense making 
ā€¢ Safety drift 
ā€¢ Normalisation of deviance 
ā€¢ Resilience engineering 
ā€¢ Mindful organisations 
29
30 
Comparing two inquiries: FCIC versus CAIB
CAIB: History, organisation, culture 
ā€œThe Board recognized early on that the accident was 
probably not an anomalous, random event, but rather 
likely rooted to some degree in NASAŹ¼s history and the 
human space flight programŹ¼s culture. Accordingly, the 
Board broadened its mandate at the outset to include an 
investigation of a wide range of historical and organizational 
issues. [ā€¦] this report, in its findings, conclusions, and 
recommendations, places as much weight on these causal 
factors as on the more easily understood and corrected 
physical cause of the accident.ā€ 
Cultural traits and organizational practices 
detrimental to safety were allowed to develop, including: 
ā€¢ reliance on past success as a substitute for 
sound engineering practices 
ā€¢ organizational barriers that prevented effective 
communication of critical safety information 
and stifled professional differences of opinion 
ā€¢ lack of integrated management across program 
elements 
ā€¢ the evolution of an informal chain of command 
and decision-making processes that operated 
outside the organisationŹ¼s rules. 
MINDFUL of key mechanisms leading to organisational failure 
Columbia Accident Investigation Board 
CAIB (2003) 
31
FCIC: Choice, responsibility, blame 
ā€œThese conclusionsmust be viewed in the context of human nature and individual and 
societal responsibility. 
ā€¢ First, to pin this crisis on mortal flaws like greed and hubris would be simplistic. It 
was the failure to account for human weakness that is relevant to this crisis. 
ā€¢ Second, we clearly believe the crisis was a result of human mistakes, 
misjudgements, and misdeeds that resulted in systemic failures for which our 
nation has paid dearly.ā€ 
ā€œWe do place special responsibilitywith the public leaders 
charged with protecting our financial system. [ā€¦] These 
individuals sought and accepted positions of significant 
responsibility and obligation.ā€ 
ā€œBut as a nation, we must also accept responsibility for what 
we permitted to occur. Collectively, but certainly not 
unanimously, we acquiesced to or embraced a system, a set 
of policies and actions, that gave rise to our present 
predicament.ā€ 
ā€œThis is our collective responsibility. It falls to us to make 
different choices if we want different results.ā€ 
ā€œIf we do not learn from history, we are unlikely to fully recover from it.ā€ 
But how?

The ignorance of what is going on is 
organisational and prevents any attempt 
to stop the unfolding harm. Then, what 
can be done? 
ā€¢ ā€œorganizations must go beyond the 
easy focus on individual failure to 
identify the social causes in 
organizational systems, a task 
requiring social science input and 
expertise.ā€ 
ā€¢ Target leaders, culture, and signals 
ā€œnormalisation of deviance means that people within the 
organization become so much accustomed to a deviant 
behaviour that they don't consider it as deviantā€ 
ā€œ[ā€¦] for years preceding both [space shuttle] accidents, technical 
experts defined risk away by repeatedly normalizing technical 
anomalies that deviated from expected performanceā€ 
Asymmetry of proof requirement 
Prove there is a problem versus prove there is no problem 
At one point the key [NASA] engineer said, Ā«You know, I canā€™t prove 
it. I just know itā€™s away from goodness in our data base.Ā» But in that 
culture, that was considered an emotional argument, a subjective 
argument, it was not considered a strong quantitative data 
argument in keeping with the technical tradition at that time.ā€

problem that threatens systemic consequences, then you 
will be dismissedā€

ā€¢ effective learning

Mindfulness in high-reliability organisations 
ā€œIn an unknowable, unpredictable world, ongoing 
mutual re-adjustment is a constant, and it is this 
adaptive activity that generates potential information 
about capability, vulnerability, and the environment. 
That information is lost unless there is continuous 
mindful awareness of these variations. By this line of 
argument, unreliable outcomes occur when cognitive 
processes vary and no longer stay focused on failures, 
simplifications, recoveries, situations, and structuring, or 
when patterns of activity fail to vary and unexpected 
events are normalized.ā€ 
Karl Weick 
Lessons 
for the 
GFC? 
Example ā€œSimplificationā€ ā€“ Members of all 
organizations handle complex tasks by 
simplifying the manner in which the current 
situation is interpreted. These simplifications, 
variously referred to as worldviews, 
frameworks, or mindsets, basically allow 
members to ignore data and keep going. [ā€¦] 
Simplifications increase the likelihood of 
eventual surprise. They allow 
anomalies to accumulate, intuitions to be 
disregarded, and undesired consequences 
to grow more serious.

The curse of the prediction neurosis 
Greenspan testimony at the 23 Oct 2008 congressional hearing 
ā€œSo, it strikes me that if you go back and 
ask yourself how in the early years 
anybody could realistically make a 
judgment as to what was ultimately going 
to happen to subprime, I think you are 
asking more than anybody is capable of 
judging. And we have this extraordinarily 
complex global economy which, as 
everybody now realizes, is very difficult 
to forecast in any considerable detail.ā€œ 
The Financial Crisis and the Role of Federal Regulators (2008) 
The view from mindful organising 
ā€œA very significant amount of regulation in the economic area is based on 
a forecast to know in advanceā€ā€ 
ā€œIf we are right 60 percent of the time in forecasting, weā€™re doing 
exceptionally well. That means we are wrong 40 percent of the time, and 
when you observe the extent of the broad failure, the difficulty is that 
nobody can forecastā€ 
ā€œWe can try to do better, but forecasting is neverā€”never gets to the point 
where itā€™s 100 percent accurate.ā€ 
ā€œWe cannot expect perfection in any area where forecasting is required, 
and I think we have to do our best, but not expect infallibility or 
omniscience.ā€ 
ā€œJust let me say quickly, the Federal Reserve has an as sophisticated a 
modelling structure and capable people as any organization I am aware 
of. It did not forecast what is happeningā€ 
"For complex phenomena, Hayek maintains that it is 
difficult to predict individual events. Instead he 
argues that many events must be observed. Often the 
events being observed form a pattern. It is the 
pattern which is potentially predictable rather than 
individual events. For many patterns, prediction 
may give way to a weaker criterion. At most what 
may be achieved is an explanation of the principle or 
the central factors which give a systemic pattern its 
characteristic appearance."

It is my own view that a much better case can be made for the kind of instrumental conception of 
science set forth in general terms by Peirces Dewey, and their successors. In this view, scientific 
activity is perpetual problem solving. No area of experience is totally and completely settled by 
providing a set of basic truths; but rather, we are continually confronted with new situations 
and new problems, and we bring to these problems and situations a potpourri of scientific 
methods, techniques, and concepts, which in many cases we have learned to use with great 
facility. 
A philosophically principled pluralism: ā€œ[a 
pluralism] that regards the various ā€œschoolsā€ of 
economics, including neoclassicalism, as offering 
different windows on economic reality, each 
bringing into view different subsets of economic 
phenomena . . . [and] rejects the idea that any 
school could possess final or total solutions, but 
accepts all as possible means for understanding 
real-life economic problems.ā€ 
ā€œ[P]luralism is a meta-methodological 
position. It 
offers no specific methodological 
advice to economists.ā€ 
ā€œMethodological pluralism makes 
no epistemological claims; it is 
not grounded in any theory of 
truth.ā€ 
ā€œAdvocates of [a monistic] approach to methodology 
generally choose one criterion of demarcation to 
distinguish science from nonscienceā€ 
In mainstream economics, 
one such criterion is 
rationality. In science more 
generally, Popper put forward 
falsifiability as a 
demarcation criterion.

Reflexive governance
Conventional modes of steering and regulation 
What are the assumptions? 
ā€¢ Definition of goals ā€“ The goal, i.e. the 
direction of the steering attempt is defined 
clearly and unambiguously. 
ā€¢ Analysis of system dynamics ā€“ Predictive 
knowledge on system dynamics can be 
developed, allowing the effects of action to 
be assessed. 
ā€¢ Organisation of collective action ā€“ The 
power to control influential factors for 
system development is given or can be 
organized. 
These assumptions are unlikely to hold in the 
context of systemic risk. 
Where are the problems? 
Goals 
ā€¢ Conflict of goals 
ā€¢ Vagueness of goals 
Knowledge 
ā€¢ Heterogeneity of interacting factors 
ā€¢ Feedback loops and emergent 
dynamics 
Power 
ā€¢ Horizontal distribution of power 
ā€¢ Vertical distribution of power

Reflexive governance = governance becoming part of the problem 
ā€œ[It] involves the establishment of institutions and process which 
facilitate the actors within a domain for learning not only about policy 
options, but also about their own interests and preferences. Learning, 
within open and deliberative processes, might cause participants not 
only to conceive of better techniques or instruments but also, beyond 
policy solutions, to reorder the way that the policy problems are 
conceived and prioritisedā€œ

  • 15. Case 2 ā€“ Institutional blind spots
  • 16. BULLARD ā€“ ā€œMy sense is that the level of systemic risk associated with financial turmoil has fallen dramatically. For this reason, I think the FOMC should begin to de-emphasize systemic risk worries. [ā€¦] My sense is that, because the turmoil has been ongoing for some time, all of the major players have made adjustments [ā€¦].

On ideology in economics ā€œAs everyone knows, however, there is with us another source of confusion and another barrier to advance: most of us, not content with their scientific task, yield to the call of public duty and to their desire to serve their country and their age, and in doing so bring into their work their individual schemes of values and all their policies and politics - the whole of their moral personalities up to their spiritual ambitions.ā€ ā€œBut there exist in our minds preconceptions about the economic process that are much more dangerous to the cumulative growth of our knowledge and the scientific character of our analytic endeavours because they seem beyond our control in a sense in which value judgments and special pleadings are not.

CAIB: History, organisation, culture ā€œThe Board recognized early on that the accident was probably not an anomalous, random event, but rather likely rooted to some degree in NASAŹ¼s history and the human space flight programŹ¼s culture. Accordingly, the Board broadened its mandate at the outset to include an investigation of a wide range of historical and organizational issues. [ā€¦] this report, in its findings, conclusions, and recommendations, places as much weight on these causal factors as on the more easily understood and corrected physical cause of the accident.ā€ Cultural traits and organizational practices detrimental to safety were allowed to develop, including: ā€¢ reliance on past success as a substitute for sound engineering practices ā€¢ organizational barriers that prevented effective communication of critical safety information and stifled professional differences of opinion ā€¢ lack of integrated management across program elements ā€¢ the evolution of an informal chain of command and decision-making processes that operated outside the organisationŹ¼s rules.

Mindfulness in high-reliability organisations ā€œIn an unknowable, unpredictable world, ongoing mutual re-adjustment is a constant, and it is this adaptive activity that generates potential information about capability, vulnerability, and the environment. That information is lost unless there is continuous mindful awareness of these variations. By this line of argument, unreliable outcomes occur when cognitive processes vary and no longer stay focused on failures, simplifications, recoveries, situations, and structuring, or when patterns of activity fail to vary and unexpected events are normalized.ā€ Karl Weick Lessons for the GFC? Example ā€œSimplificationā€ ā€“ Members of all organizations handle complex tasks by simplifying the manner in which the current situation is interpreted. These simplifications, variously referred to as worldviews, frameworks, or mindsets, basically allow members to ignore data and keep going. [ā€¦] Simplifications increase the likelihood of eventual surprise. They allow anomalies to accumulate, intuitions to be disregarded, and undesired consequences to grow more serious.

Often the events being observed form a pattern. It is the pattern which is potentially predictable rather than individual events. For many patterns, prediction may give way to a weaker criterion. At most what may be achieved is an explanation of the principle or the central factors which give a systemic pattern its characteristic appearance."

  • 42. It is my own view that a much better case can be made for the kind of instrumental conception of science set forth in general terms by Peirces Dewey, and their successors. In this view, scientific activity is perpetual problem solving. No area of experience is totally and completely settled by providing a set of basic truths; but rather, we are continually confronted with new situations and new problems, and we bring to these problems and situations a potpourri of scientific methods, techniques, and concepts, which in many cases we have learned to use with great facility. A philosophically principled pluralism: ā€œ[a pluralism] that regards the various ā€œschoolsā€ of economics, including neoclassicalism, as offering different windows on economic reality, each bringing into view different subsets of economic phenomena . . . [and] rejects the idea that any school could possess final or total solutions, but accepts all as possible means for understanding real-life economic problems.ā€ ā€œ[P]luralism is a meta-methodological position. It offers no specific methodological advice to economists.ā€ ā€œMethodological pluralism makes no epistemological claims; it is not grounded in any theory of truth.ā€ ā€œAdvocates of [a monistic] approach to methodology generally choose one criterion of demarcation to distinguish science from nonscienceā€ In mainstream economics, one such criterion is rationality. In science more generally, Popper put forward falsifiability as a demarcation criterion. Pluralism in economics Suppes (1978) Fullbrook (2003) Caldwell (1988) 42
