Context
The FCA has published a podcast transcript of an interview with Dr Karen Croxson, who is Deputy Chief Economist and Head of Research, Economic Data and Behavioural Science at the FCA.
Key points to note
The podcast explores the important work of the research department and its impact. Karen leads an interdisciplinary programme, integrating in particular disciplines such as economics, data science and behavioural science, to understand the markets that the FCA regulates, to help design policy and regulatory interventions and also to feed into a wider evidence-based strategy to improve internal operations.
There is interesting commentary on Karen’s work and how it is used to decide what the FCA should look at and the actions it should take.
