#nudge #Thaler #CBA Perhaps Thaler’s greatest influence on policy has been through his work with Cass Sunstein on nudging individuals to make more rational choices through changes in the architecture of choice. In addition to widespread public attention, whole units of government have been created in the United Kingdom, United States, and other countries to look for ways of incorporating behavioral findings into policy designs. Assessing the efficiency impacts of nudges requires BCA analysts to step beyond consumer sovereignty to assess impacts paternalistically. We already do so with respect to choices made by children and the mentally impaired. Should we accept this responsibility when relatively small changes in circumstances alter individual choices? We will likely be addressing this issue for many years to come. https://benefitcostanalysis.org/balance-nobel-laureate-richard-thaler-behavioral-economics-and-benefit-cost-analysis
