The Biology of Risk Taking
John Coates, Research Fellow in Neuroscience and Finance at the
University of Cambridge, previously traded derivatives for Goldman
Sachs and ran a trading desk for Deutsche Bank. He now researches the
biology of risk taking and stress. His book, The Hour Between Dog and
Wolf, was short listed for the FT-Goldman Business Book of the Year,
and the UK Wellcome Trust Science Prize. It was also chosen book of
the month by the British Army. In this talk he presents research
conducted on trading floors in the City of London designed to show the
influence of the endocrine system on risk taking, and especially
financial risk taking.
