OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
People living in the UK rely heavily on markets for insurance against social risks. Such markets can vary in their distributional effects. This talk examines the political economy of UK credit and annuity markets in the twenty-first century. It assesses how these two markets have developed in a context of rapid technological change, and whether changing information asymmetries are exacerbating existing inequalities.
