2/2 Nudging the nudgers:
2/ Invest in cost benefit analyses
3/ Maintain scientific integrity
4/ Commit to retrospective analysis. Learn after fact how any intervention is going. @CassSunstein #BX2018
Q: Tech can use nudges in ways that may 'cost' Gov. E.g. apps that help you avoid parking fines means less revenue
A: Cost benefit analysis should be for social good/ public interest. Fines shouldn't be about revenue. It's to help us comply with law. @CassSunstein #BX2018
Policymakers need to weigh up social costs vs social benefits for the public good. @CassSunstein #BX2018
Q: Is Trump administration still committed to #BehaviouralScience as the Obama administration?
A: Yes. Calorie labels. Food safety and nutrition work. Are subsidies and mandates still being used in current climate? Yes says @CassSunstein Gov agencies continue this work. #BX2018
Manipulation by deception of consumers is outlawed by many countries. Some governments still use manipulation edging towards deception. E.g. health nudges. We need to think further on this. @CassSunstein #BX2018
1/2 How can we follow @CassSunstein's first point on bill of rights for nudging when everyone's values and interests can be different?
A: if it's an 'easy' issue, by using personalised preferences. If it's complicated issue do cost/benefit & address people's losses. #BX2018
2/2 E.g. use reminders or easy opt outs for people to minimise their losses. - @CassSunstein #BX2018
What are top 6 to 8 issues facing your country? (E.g. mental health.) Do they lend themselves to either boosting (education/ literacy) or nudging? @CassSunstein seems to be arguing boosting is not as responsive to big social problems. #BX2018
