Nudging is a tool aimed at altering people’s behaviour in a
predictable way without forbidding any option or significantly
changing economic incentives. It can be used to help people make
better decisions to influence human behaviour without forcing
them because they can opt out. Its use has sparked lively debates
in academia as well as in the public sphere. This book explores
who decides which behaviour is desired. It looks at whether or
not the state has sufficient information for debiasing, and if
there are clear-cut boundaries between paternalism, manipulation
and indoctrination. The first part of this anthology discusses
the foundations of nudging theory and the problems associated, as
well as outlining possible solutions to the problems raised. The
second part is devoted to the wide scope of applications of
nudges from contract law, tax law and health claim regulations,
among others.
