Nudge, Nudge, Think, Think: Experimenting with Ways to Change Citizen Behaviour,

Description

This book builds on the 'nudge' idea proposed by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein, proposing an alternative 'think' strategy that calls on citizens to decide their own priorities as part of a process of civic and democratic renewal. It sets out the different approaches in theory and presents a series of experiments that show them in action. -- .

'A pathbreaking book that for the first time brings smart policy insights into contact with creative, rigorous testing. This book sets the standard for all future scientific evaluations of "what works".' Donald P. Green, Burgess Professor of Political Science, Columbia University 'Nudge, nudge, think, think not only informs the reader about how nudge and think strategies can be combined, but also about what the potential benefits and drawbacks of such strategies are for a range of public behaviours.'
