Is Australia’s housing crisis really just about boosting supply?

Join Professor Peter Abelson as he presents his latest work on the NSW Government’s new housing policies and what they mean for communities in Sydney and across the state.

Why do people make choices that look “irrational”?
Event Type: ESA Event
Date: Wednesday Feb 18, 2026, 12:30 pm
Professor Tymula will examine why people often make financial choices that look “irrational” - avoiding the stock market, struggling with complex offers, or freezing when there are too many options - even when they want to do better? Professor Tymula will share the research from her groups suggesting that many of these behaviours are not flaws in our character or preferences, but the predictable result of how a limited brain tries to navigate a complicated economic world.
This is a hybrid event - join in-person at 123 Pitt St, Sydney or Online. Please let us know how you plan to attend when registering.
The timing of this event is AEDT (SYD/CBR/MEL)
