Socionomics Institute Senior Researcher Alan Hall presented his research connecting declines in stock market indexes to infectious disease outbreaks at the University of Warwick’s Mood Conference on May 6, 2016. The event gathered researchers from a dozen countries and over five continents to discuss their work on mood.
In this interview, Hall discusses the conference and shares some of his key insights regarding epidemics. He explains that negative social mood, as reflected by stock market declines, weakens immune systems and leaves populations more susceptible to infectious disease. Watch.
