OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Rationality versus irrationality in the Brexit process
The lecture considers the process of the Brexit decision and negotiations from the time the decision was made to hold a referendum to when Parliament made one of the most far-reaching decisions in generations. The lecturer considers some general principles of rationality and reviews how some basic concepts in economics can illuminate the nature and procedures of the decision-making process by voters, politicians and government and EU negotiators. The focus on rationality concerns the process of decision-making rather than the actual decisions. Although a decision-making process may have elements of irrationality this does not necessarily mean that the final decision is irrational.
