Vector theory of change — a theory of change for complex systems - The Cynefin Co
We're launching a short explainer on vector theory of change, which describes how approaches to theory of change thus far have not been suitable for complex systems, and how vector theory of change helps to rectify these issues. It walks you through vector theory of change step by step: starting from where you are, setting direction and finding stepping stones, designing interventions, and monitoring continuous feedback as opposed to recklessly aiming for a fixed endpoint at any cost.

Exponential Growth Bias and Household Finance
ABSTRACT Exponential growth bias is the pervasive tendency to linearize exponential functions when assessing them intuitively. We show that exponential growth bias can explain two stylized facts in household finance: the tendency to underestimate an interest rate given other loan terms, and the tendency to underestimate a future value given other investment terms. Bias matters empirically: More‐biased households borrow more, save less, favor shorter maturities, and use and benefit more from financial advice, conditional on a rich set of household characteristics. There is little evidence that our measure of exponential growth bias merely proxies for broader financial sophistication.
