The OECD has identified 196 teams within governments across the world, designed with the purpose of using behavioral insights to improve national administrations. Citizens of various societies support nudges and nudging. However, the determinants of the nudge approval level have not been studied so far. It is not known why some types of nudges are approved by citizens of different countries to a greater extent, and others are actively disapproved. The aim of this study is to reveal the approval level of using Behavioral insights in Public Policy. We have formulated the nudge approval determina

Abstract:

Behavioral economics blends psychology and economics to determine how psychological triggers or nudges influence people's decision-making. The decoy effect has been a particular focus of study in the behavioral economics literature. The decoy effect is seen as an effective "Nudge" and is widely used by businesses. For example, magazine subscriptions, vacation destination choices, and sales of various productswhere there is a choice, there is an arena for nudges. The marketplace is flooded with nudges to influence consumer choice; in everyday consumption, many businesses use the decoy effect to

Abstract:

Financial decision-making, both at individual and institutional levels, plays a critical role in determining economic outcomes. Traditional economic theory posits that individuals are rational agents who make decisions based on complete information and a consistent set of preferences. However, behavioral economics has challenged this notion, highlighting cognitive biases, heuristics, and social influences that can drive suboptimal decisions. Nudges and behavioral interventions have emerged as tools to guide individuals toward better financial choices without restricting their freedom of choice

Introduction</strong> The terms "behavioral nudges" and "charitable giving" are related and refer to the use of psychological tactics to persuade and motivate people to take part in charitable endeavors. To address social concerns and assist groups that work to advance a variety of causes, charitable giving is essential. However, cognitive biases and heuristics rather than only rational factors frequently have an impact on people's decisions to contribute.

The theory of planned behavior (TPB) and nudge theory (NT) converge on social norms as promising targets for intervention. Despite accumulating evidence of social norm nudges in promoting health behaviors, no intervention has utilized social norms to promote mental health help-seeking in older adults. This study aims to (a) co-design social norm-nudges with different stakeholders and (b) pilot their feasibility and effects in improving menta

Abstract:

242 Background: Behavorial economic nudges are increasingly used in oncology settings to encourage evidence-based practices, such as serious illness conversations (SIC). Prior work demonstrated the effectiveness of an oncologist-directed nudge identifying patients at high risk of 180-day mortality, which led to a 3-fold increase in SIC documentation. It is unknown whether such nudges must continue indefinitely to sustain effective behavior change, or whether clinician behavior change would persist in their absence. The objective of this analysis was to examine the effect of removing an oncolog

Abstract:

Behavioral Finance is one of the most novel developments in Behavioral Economics. Since the end of the 1970ies a wide range of psychological, economic and sociological laboratory and field experiments proved human beings deviating from rational choices. Standard neoclassical profit maximization axioms were outlined to fail to explain how human actually behave. Human beings were rather found to use heuristics in the day-to-day decision making. These mental short cuts enable to cope with information overload in a complex world. Behavioral economists proposed to nudge and wink citizens to make be

Abstract:

Everyday actions of people across various settings can lead to environmental issues. These automatically performed actions are overlooked in the traditional economics. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and understand pro-environmental behaviors. On the other hand, behavioral economics offers insights into cognitive constraints affecting these kinds of behaviors and develops nudges that take human beings' limited rationality into account. Therefore the study underscores the significance of nudges as empirical tools in behavioral economics for building a sustainable world and laying the found

Abstract:

This study addresses the influence of behavioral sciences on the formulation of public policies, using the nudge strategy proposed by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. Nudges aim to subtly guide individual choices, promoting well-being without restricting freedom of choice. The research explores how human thinking, which oscillates between intuitive and rational modes, can be directed by almost imperceptible interventions to adopt healthier and more sustainable behaviors. The study methodology is based on the analysis of existing literature in psychology and neuroscience, highlighting the effe

Abstract Browsing privacy tools can help people protect their digital privacy. However, tools which provide the strongest protections—such as Tor Browser—have struggled to achieve widespread adoption. This may be due to usability challenges, misconceptions, behavioral biases, or mere lack of awareness. In this study, we test the effectiveness of nudging interventions that encourage the adoption of Tor Browser. First, we test an informational nudge based on protection motivation theory (PMT), designed to raise awareness of Tor Browser and help participants form accurate perceptions of it. Next,

Abstract Numerous experimental studies of informational nudges both in the lab and the field have demonstrated not just that informational nudges are effective policy tools for influencing behavior, but also that nudges have heterogeneous impacts that differ depending on the characteristics of the person involved and the situation. We adapt Andreoni’s theory of warm-glow impure altruism to account for how altruism motives respond differently depending on the disposition of the person and the situation.

We use a behavioral-economic framework and qualitative and quantitative data to examine the mechanisms behind this successful PMM. Aspects of the way the PMM is designed and implemented appear to enable the company using the PMM to explo

Nudges are behavioral interventions to subtly steer citizens’ choices toward “desirable” options. An important topic of debate concerns the legitimacy of nudging as a policy instrument, and there is a focus on issues relating to nudge transparency, the role of preexisting preferences people may have, and the premise that nudges primarily affect people when they are in “irrational” modes of thinking. Empirical insights into how these factors affect the extent to which people are susceptible to nudge influence (i.e., “nudgeable”) are lacking in the debate. This article introduces the new concept

A systematic review of literature was conducted. Results show a prevalence of focus on health: Most interventions improve workers’ food choices or increase their physical activity; a few address pro-environmental behavior, and fewer target workers’ p

Abstract:

Abstract Nudges are increasingly being proposed and used as a policy tool around the world. The success of nudges depends on public acceptance. However, several questions about what makes a nudge acceptable remain unanswered. In this paper, we examine whether policy alternatives to nudges influence the public's acceptance of these nudges: Do attitudes change when the nudge is presented alongside either a more paternalistic policy alternative (legislation) or a less paternalistic alternative (no behavioral intervention)? In two separate samples drawn from the Swedish general public, we find a v
