About this book
Reviews
“An illuminating, exceptionally valuable collection with diverse perspectives and — maybe best of all — plenty of evidence. Indispensable reading for those interested in the real world of behavioral science.” (Cass R. Sunstein, Harvard University, USA; coauthor of “Nudge”)
“With examples ranging from energy efficiency standards to consumer finance, this highly accessible volume provides an engaging tour through ways in which market mechanisms can play a constructive role in fostering sound decisions. Since identical consumer choices are seldom ideal for everyone, market operations that permit people to learn from their mistakes may be more welfare-enhancing than trying to prevent such mistakes through policies designed to make consumer product choices more rational.” (W. Kip Viscusi, University Distinguished Professor of Law, Economics, and Management, Vanderbilt University, USA)
“Finally, a serious look at how government nudges would work in the real world. A valuable guide for anyone interested in how behavioral economics interacts with public choice economics and market forces.” (Jayson Lusk, Regents Professor and Willard Sparks Endowed Chair, Oklahoma State University, USA; author of “Unnaturally Delicious” and “The Food Police”)
