AI, Behavioural Finance, and UK Growth Policy

I am pleased to share that my written evidence submission to the House of Commons Business and Trade Committee inquiry on “Financing the Real Economy” is now available online.

My submission, “AI, Behavioural Finance, and UK Growth Policy,” discusses how AI adoption, behavioral finance, regulatory uncertainty, productivity, business confidence, and regional inequality interact in shaping UK growth policy.

A key point I make is that firms’ AI investment decisions are not driven only by financial incentives or technological capability. They are also shaped by behavioral constraints such as ambiguity aversion, loss aversion, present bias, and managerial inertia. Recognizing these behavioral barriers is important if policy is to support more effective AI adoption, productivity growth, and inclusive economic development.

I only realized today that the Business and Trade Committee published the submission in November last year, so I am sharing it now.
