This interactive session explores the benefits of implementing a system of performance measurement for evaluating progress towards desired community outcomes, such as reducing household transportation costs, increasing the number of affordable homes that are well served by transit, or preserving agricultural and natural resource lands. Panelists present short case studies that demonstrate how performance measures have been used to inform planning, policy, and investment decisions in a variety of rural, suburban, and urban communities. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
| | | APSA_NY12-301 | | Presidential Symposium: Minding the Markets: How Psychoanalysis Can Help to Build New Economics and Finance Thinking Speakers: Robert A. Johnson, MA, PhD (Exec Director of the Institute of New Economic Thinking); Professor David Tuckett (London, England); Warren R. Procci, MD, President (Pasadena, CA) APsaA’s international colleague, David Tuckett, has sought to contribute to the development of a new field of “emotional finance” with a specific interest in understanding the recent and continuing financial crisis. Human emotion has a critical impact on financial markets and, until very recently, economic theories have failed to take this into account. At the heart of the worst financial crisis in decades is a failure to organize markets in a way that puts controls on the very human emotion and behavior which trading unleashes. Robert Johnson and David Tuckett each speak on this subject and then lead a discussion concerning how psychological and psychoanalytic concepts can offer considerable assistance in understanding the sometimes irrational behavior of people and markets. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
