The CFPB will hold a symposium on Thursday, Sept. 19, at 9 a.m. that will focus on behavioral law and economics. The event will be webcast on the bureau’s website.

This is the second event in a series announced earlier this year to explore consumer protections in today’s financial services marketplace. The series is aimed at encouraging a proactive and transparent dialogue to assist the bureau in its policy development process, including possible future rulemakings.

The first symposium, on June 25, covered the Dodd-Frank Act’s prohibition on abusive acts or practices.

This Thursday’s event will feature remarks by CFPB Director Kathleen Kraninger and Deputy Director Brian Johnson. The first panel will include a discussion of the methodological foundations of behavioral economics.

The second panel will be a discussion of behavioral law and economics and consumer financial protection. The panel will be moderated by Jason Brown, assistant director in the bureau’s office of research.
