1. Nudging and Boosting: Steering or Empowering Good Decisions

   Ralph Hertwig, Till Grüne‐Yanoff · 2017 · Perspectives on Psychological Science · 843 cites

   In recent years, policy makers worldwide have begun to acknowledge the potential value of insights from psychology and behavioral economics into how people make decisions. These insights can inform the design of nonregulatory and nonmonetary policy interventions-as well as more traditional fiscal and coercive measures. To date, much of the discussion of behaviorally informed approaches has emphasized "nudges," that is, interventions designed to steer people in a particular direction while preserving their freedom of choice. Yet behavioral science also provides support for a distinct kind of nonfiscal and noncoercive intervention, namely, "boosts." The objective of boosts is to foster people'

2. Should Governments Invest More in Nudging?

   Shlomo Benartzi, John Beshears, Katherine L. Milkman, et al. · 2017 · Psychological Science · 814 cites

   Governments are increasingly adopting behavioral science techniques for changing individual behavior in pursuit of policy objectives. The types of "nudge" interventions that governments are now adopting alter people's decisions without coercion or significant changes to economic incentives. We calculated ratios of impact to cost for nudge interventions and for traditional policy tools, such as tax incentives and other financial inducements, and we found that nudge interventions often compare favorably with traditional interventions. We conclude that nudging is a valuable approach that should be used more often in conjunction with traditional policies, but more calculations are needed to dete

3. Nudging: A Very Short Guide

   Cass R. Sunstein · 2014 · Journal of Consumer Policy · 795 cites

   This brief essay offers a general introduction to the idea of nudging, along with a list of 10 of the most important “nudges.” It also provides a short discussion of the question whether to create some kind of separate “behavioral insights unit,” capable of conducting its own research, or instead to rely on existing institutions.

4. Nudge and the Manipulation of Choice

   Pelle Guldborg Hansen, Andreas Maaløe Jespersen · 2013 · European Journal of Risk Regulation · 777 cites

   In Nudge (2008) Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein suggested that public policy–makers arrange decision–making contexts in ways to promote behaviour change in the interest of individual citizens as well as that of society. However, in the public sphere and Academia alike widespread discussions have appeared concerning the public acceptability of nudgebased behavioural policy. Thaler and Sunstein's own position is that the anti–nudge position is a literal non–starter, because citizens are always influenced by the decision making context anyway, and nudging is liberty preserving and acceptable if guided by Libertarian Paternalism and Rawls’ publicity principle. A persistent and central tenet in

5. The effectiveness of nudging: A meta-analysis of choice architecture interventions across behavioral domains

   Stéphanie Mertens, Mario Herberz, Ulf J.J. Hahnel, et al. · 2021 · Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 739 cites

   = 0.45 (95% CI [0.39, 0.52]). In addition, we find that the effectiveness of choice architecture interventions varies significantly as a function of technique and domain. Across behavioral domains, interventions that target the organization and structure of choice alternatives (decision structure) consistently outperform interventions that focus on the description of alternatives (decision information) or the reinforcement of behavioral intentions (decision assistance). Food choices are particularly responsive to choice architecture interventions, with effect sizes up to 2.5 times larger than those in other behavioral domains. Overall, choice architecture interventions affect behavior relati

6. Judging nudging: can nudging improve population health?

   Theresa M. Marteau, David Ogilvie, Martín Roland, et al. · 2011 · BMJ · 647 cites

   Nudging has captured the imagination of the public, researchers, and policy makers as a way of changing human behaviour, with both the UK and US governments embracing it. Theresa Marteau and colleagues ask whether the concept stands up to scientific scrutiny

7. Nudging consumers towards healthier choices: a systematic review of positional influences on food choice

   Tamara Bucher, Clare E. Collins, Megan E. Rollo, et al. · 2016 · British Journal Of Nutrition · 542 cites

   Nudging or 'choice architecture' refers to strategic changes in the environment that are anticipated to alter people's behaviour in a predictable way, without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives. Nudging strategies may be used to promote healthy eating behaviour. However, to date, the scientific evidence has not been systematically reviewed to enable practitioners and policymakers to implement, or argue for the implementation of, specific measures to support nudging strategies. This systematic review investigated the effect of positional changes of food placement on food choice. In total, seven scientific databases were searched using relevant keywords
