Sharing session’s preface here - Endogenous steroids have been linked to individual financial performance, risk-taking behavior, and tolerance for market variability. Adjusting for self-selection into financial professions, choice of investment portfolios, and prevailing norms of market-based returns and compensation, one may look at the evolutionary neurobiological mechanisms of endogenous steroids and their impact on financial market dynamics. Furthermore, Prof. Ray will discuss the harmful impacts of an endocrine imbalance on cognitive functioning and rational decision-making, which can also have profound implications for investment decisions. Lastly, Prof. Ray will shed light on the unappreciated role played by nutrition in shaping the performance of our endocrine system and its impact on mental health and financial management, especially as it relates to the microeconomic foundations of modern macroeconomics. The session will be astutely moderated by Prof. Rupamanjari Sinha Ray (Associate Professor, Economics & Public Policy).
