Talk at 15th EUropean Congress of Psychology in track "Behavior in a digitizing world: The biggest Psychological experiment ever"
How and why (semi-) governments start to stimulate Behavioral Scientific insights & experiments.
The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) is committed to promoting fair and transparent financial markets. As an independent market conduct authority, we contribute to a sustainable financial system and prosperity in the Netherlands. In our supervision, we use a realistic perspective on human behavior, to implement potentially succesful interventions and we measure what works (ideally using randomized controlled trials). We also encourage and challenge financial firms to apply these insights and methods, in order for them to put their customers' interests first.

Introduction
Whistleblower incentives and protection refers to the monetary reward as well as protection which the United States Government offers to the individuals who expose certain wrongdoings in the community more especially in government institutions. The Federal law requires the government to reward the whistleblowers a certain percentage of money that is recovered following their tips of exposing the wrongdoing acts. This percentage may go up to 30 percent of the total recovered money. In this paper, I will critically analyze whether Whistleblower Incentives and Protection are ways of applying investment banking incentives to control management unethical and illegal practices. And maybe are the whistleblowers rewarded accordingly in terms of security and money.Background Information
Whistleblower incentives and protection rights are clearly stated per the federal laws. The main reason for having such laws is to promote transparency and motivate people to shun unethical behavior in various professions. Corruption is the main vice that is targeted by whistleblower incentives and protection. Federal laws require government agencies to provide maximum security to a whistleblower in the process of investigating a vice and even after the culprits have been apprehended. More so, it is required by law that the whistleblower gets a certain amount of the recovered resources. Whistl.

Radicale impact van pensioennudges #DvhG20 Dag van het GedragWilte Zijlstra
In het vernieuwde pensioenstelsel lijkt er meer ruimte voor keuzes voor werknemers. Uit de gedragseconomie weten we dat hoe een keuze wordt aangeboden, grote invloed kan hebben op wat iemand kiest. Zeker voor een onderwerp als pensioen dat veel mensen complex en ver-van-hun-bed vinden, lijkt de keuzearchitectuur veel invloed te kunnen hebben.
In een serie van online keuze-experimenten, heeft de Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM) samen met wetenschappers onderzoek naar pensioenkeuzes. Vrije keuze door pensioendeelnemer gaat vaak niet vanzelf goed en leidt niet altijd tot de economisch meest optimale uitkomsten. En kleine nudges zoals het bolletje van de digitale keuze (○) al aanvinken (●) hebben radicale impact op de keuzes die mensen voor hun pensioen maken. Pensioenuitvoerders staan voor de uitdaging verantwoord te sturen in hoe ze de keuzes binnen het nieuwe pensioenstelsel gaan aanbieden.

Evil nudges, en sludge - Nibud congres 18 april 2019Wilte Zijlstra
Nudging is een mooi instrument om gewenst gedrag te stimuleren. Maar het kan het ook voor slechte uitkomsten ingezet worden; evil nudges. Wat voor soorten evil nudges zijn er? Welke trucs halen gehaaide marketeers uit? Waar ligt de grens: wanneer is iets (bona fide) verleiding en wanneer misleiding? En wanneer wordt nudge sludge, oftewel: wanneer leidt nudging tot ongewenste uitkomsten? Een sludge is vaak extra frictie, een hogere drempel. Soms kan extra frictie juist positief zijn, bijvoorbeeld bij het ontmoedigen van ongewenst gedrag, of om juist de automatische piloot even uit te schakelen. Alleen: hoeveel frictie is optimaal? Welke fouten door ontwerp van de keuze-omgeving accepteren we en hoe wegen we de verschillende soorten fouten tegen elkaar af?

Behavior Design MeetUp Amsterdam (BDAMS) #7: Gedrag en Toezicht op financiële markten
Wilte Zijlstra (@wilte) werkt bij de afdeling Communicatie van de Autoriteit Financiële Markten (www.afm.nl). Hij is gepromoveerd evolutiebioloog en werkt nu acht jaar bij de AFM. Als onafhankelijke gedragstoezichthouder op sparen, lenen, beleggen en verzekeren, bevordert de AFM eerlijke en transparante financiële markten.
De AFM kan formele maatregelen opleggen, zoals boetes of het intrekken van vergunningen. Maar vaak zijn informele maatregelen, communicatie en/of gedragsbeïnvloeding effectiever en efficienter. Hoe kan de AFM gedragseconomische inzichten het best inzetten voor een eerlijke financiële markt? Met dit soort vraagstukken houdt Wilte zich bij de AFM bezig als (markt)onderzoeker en communicatieadviseur.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
