Internationally renowned expert Professor Duxbury is an internationally renowned expert in the areas of experimental and behavioural finance,specifically with regards to understanding individual, household, and corporate financial behaviour. He said: “To be able to advise on the development of a new form of money represents a fantastic opportunity to use my behavioural expertise to inform public policy. I am delighted to be asked to join the Academic Advisory Group to the Bank of England and HM Treasury.” Professor Duxbury is currently leading an academic-industry research collaboration with NatWest Bank investigating the drivers of consumer payment behaviour, including attitudes and intentions towards cash. The research aims to better understand the behavioural drivers of people’s attitudes and intentions towards cash relative to other forms of payment and the impact of external factors on these intentions. This follows a recent led by Professor Duxbury, that found decisions to use cash were influenced by a person’s level of financial literacy as well as how easily they form habits. While habits relating to payment intention might form, the research highlighted that shocks affecting economic circumstances and security breaches also influenced a person’s desire to change their behaviour.
