How Hayekian is Sunstein's behavioral economics? 孙斯坦的行为经济学是怎样的?
IF 5.1 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, APPLIED Pub Date : 2021-05-27 DOI: 10.1017/BPP.2021.11
R. Sugden
I comment on Sunstein's paper proposing ‘Hayekian behavioural economics’. In essence, Sunstein is merely renaming a familiar approach to normative economics, initiated in Sunstein and Thaler's seminal 2003 paper. I argue that this approach cannot fairly be described as in the spirit of Hayek's work. Sunstein's approach is based on a ‘constructivist’ conception of rationality that Hayek consistently criticized. Although both Hayek and Sunstein address ‘knowledge problems’, the two problems are fundamentally different. I develop what I claim are truly Hayekian critiques of Sunstein's claim that fuel economy mandates can be more Hayekian than carbon taxes.
我评论了Sunstein提出的“Hayekian行为经济学”的论文。本质上,Sunstein只是重新命名了一种熟悉的规范经济学方法,该方法始于Sunstein和Thaler 2003年的开创性论文。我认为,这种方法不能被公平地描述为符合哈耶克作品的精神。桑斯坦的方法基于哈耶克一贯批评的“建构主义”理性观。尽管哈耶克和桑斯坦都涉及“知识问题”,但这两个问题根本不同。我对Sunstein的说法提出了真正的Hayekian批评,即燃油经济性规定可能比碳税更像Hayekian。

There is a limit to the productive exchange of generalizations about public policy. At some point, as William James reminds us, we must go beyond an initial insight or generalization and get into the weeds. This is what we plan to do in our response to Cass Sunstein’s article ‘Hayekian Behavioral Economics’. While an exegesis of just where Hayek himself would draw the limits of permissible government intervention may be interesting, this is not the main point of Sunstein’s article. What he intends is to persuade the reader that behavioral economic policy has reached the stage where it either can or plausibly could overcome the problems of inadequate knowledge that the two of us have claimed it faces (Rizzo & Whitman, 2009a, 2020). While Sunstein mentions us only once in a footnote, we are not aware of other attempts to elaborate this ‘Hayekian knowledge problem’ in detail. We do not point this out because we are desirous of citations, but because it is indicative of a failure to seriously and comprehensively address the relevant issues. In our prior work, we have laid out a series of specific knowledge problems that behavioral policymaking – particularly of the paternalist stripe – must confront. Sunstein’s latest work does little to address them.
对公共政策进行富有成效的概括交流是有限的。正如威廉·詹姆斯提醒我们的那样,在某个时刻,我们必须超越最初的洞察力或概括,深入杂草中。这就是我们在回应Cass Sunstein的文章《Hayekian行为经济学》时计划做的。虽然对哈耶克本人将在哪里划定允许的政府干预的界限的注释可能很有趣,但这并不是桑斯坦文章的要点。他打算说服读者,行为经济政策已经到了可以或似乎可以克服我们两人所声称的知识不足问题的阶段(Rizzo&Whitman,2009a,2020)。虽然Sunstein在脚注中只提到过我们一次,但我们不知道有其他人试图详细阐述这个“Hayekian知识问题”。我们指出这一点并不是因为我们希望被引用,而是因为这表明我们未能认真全面地解决相关问题。在我们之前的工作中,我们已经提出了一系列具体的知识问题,行为决策——尤其是家长式政策——必须面对这些问题。Sunstein的最新工作几乎没有解决这些问题。

Behavioral brittleness: the case for strategic behavioral public policy 行为脆弱性:策略性行为公共政策的案例
IF 5.1 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, APPLIED Pub Date : 2021-05-07 DOI: 10.1017/BPP.2021.16

Despite widespread recognition that behavioral public policy (BPP) needs to move beyond nudging if the field is to achieve more significant impact, problem-solving approaches remain optimized to achieve tactical success and are evaluated by short-term metrics with the assumption of stable systems. As a result, current methodologies may contribute to the development of solutions that appear well formed but become ‘brittle’ in the face of more complex contexts if they fail to consider important contextual cues, broader system forces, and emergent conditions, which can take three distinct forms: contextual, systemic, and anticipatory brittleness. The Covid-19 pandemic and vaccination rollout present an opportunity to identify and correct interventional brittleness with a new methodological approach – strategic BPP (SBPP) – that can inform the creation of more resilient solutions by embracing more diverse forms of evidence and applied foresight, designing interventions within ecosystems, and iteratively developing solutions. To advance the case for adopting a SBPP and ‘roughly right’ modes of inquiry, we use the Covid-19 vaccination rollout to define a new methodological roadmap, while also acknowledging that taking a more strategic approach may challenge current BPP norms.
尽管人们普遍认识到,如果该领域要取得更大的影响,行为公共政策(BPP)需要超越推动,但解决问题的方法仍在优化,以获得战术上的成功,并在假设系统稳定的情况下通过短期指标进行评估。因此,当前的方法可能有助于解决方案的发展,这些解决方案看起来很好,但在面对更复杂的环境时,如果它们不能考虑重要的环境线索、更广泛的系统力量和紧急情况,就会变得“脆弱”,这些解决方案可以采取三种不同的形式:环境脆性、系统脆性和预期脆性。2019冠状病毒病大流行和疫苗接种的推出提供了一个机会,可以利用一种新的方法方法——战略业务流程规划(SBPP)——识别和纠正干预措施的脆弱性,通过采用更多样化的证据形式和应用远见,在生态系统内设计干预措施,并迭代制定解决方案,为制定更具弹性的解决方案提供信息。为了推进采用SBPP和“大致正确”的调查模式的案例,我们利用Covid-19疫苗接种的推出来定义新的方法路线图,同时也承认采取更具战略性的方法可能会挑战当前的BPP规范。

Improving hand hygiene in hospitals: comparing the effect of a nudge and a boost on protocol compliance 改善医院的手部卫生:比较轻推和加强对协议遵守的影响

Abstract Nudging has become a well-known policy practice. Recently, ‘boosting’ has been suggested as an alternative to nudging. In contrast to nudges, boosts aim to empower individuals to exert their own agency to make decisions. This article is one of the first to compare a nudging and a boosting intervention, and it does so in a critical field setting: hand hygiene compliance of hospital nurses. During a 4-week quasi-experiment, we tested the effect of a reframing nudge and a risk literacy boost on hand hygiene compliance in three hospital wards. The results show that nudging and boosting were both effective interventions to improve hand hygiene compliance. A tentative finding is that, while the nudge had a stronger immediate effect, the boost effect remained stable for a week, even after the removal of the intervention. We conclude that, besides nudging, researchers and policymakers may consider boosting when they seek to implement or test behavioral interventions in domains such as healthcare.
Nudging已经成为一种众所周知的政策实践。最近,“助推”被建议作为轻推的替代方案。与轻推相比,助推旨在赋予个人权力,使其能够发挥自己的决策能力。这篇文章是第一篇比较轻推和加强干预的文章之一,它是在一个关键的领域环境中进行的:医院护士的手卫生依从性。在一项为期4周的准实验中,我们在三个医院病房测试了重新构建轻推和提高风险素养对手部卫生依从性的影响。结果表明,轻推和加强都是提高手部卫生依从性的有效干预措施。一个初步的发现是,虽然这种推动具有更强的即时效果,但即使在取消干预后,这种促进效果也在一周内保持稳定。我们的结论是,除了推动之外,研究人员和政策制定者在寻求实施或测试医疗保健等领域的行为干预措施时,可能会考虑推动。

Nudges based on social norms (norm-nudges) can be compelling behavioral interventions compared with traditional interventions such as taxes and regulations, but they do not work in all circumstances. We tested two empirical norm-nudge frames in an online experiment on taking measures for flood preparedness with large samples of homeowners (N = 1805) in two European countries, to evaluate the possible interactions between norm-nudge effectiveness, individual characteristics, and intercultural differences. We contrasted these norm-nudge treatments with a control and norm-focusing treatment by asking respondents to express their beliefs about what other respondents would do before making a decision relevant to their own payoff. We find no evidence of a treatment effect, suggesting that our social norm-nudges do not affect flood preparedness in the context of a flood risk investment game.
与税收和法规等传统干预措施相比,基于社会规范的Nudges(规范推动)可能是令人信服的行为干预措施,但它们并非在所有情况下都有效。在一项关于采取防洪措施的在线实验中,我们对两个欧洲国家的大样本房主(N=1805)进行了两个实证范数推动框架的测试,以评估范数推动有效性、个人特征和跨文化差异之间的可能相互作用。我们将这些规范推动治疗与控制和规范关注治疗进行了对比,要求受访者在做出与自己的回报相关的决定之前,表达他们对其他受访者会做什么的信念。我们没有发现治疗效果的证据,这表明我们的社会规范推动不会影响洪水风险投资游戏中的防洪准备。

Does the visual salience of credit card features affect choice? 信用卡功能的视觉显著性是否会影响选择?

Regulators require lenders to display a subset of credit card features in summary tables before customers finalize a credit card choice. Some jurisdictions require some features to be displayed more prominently than others to help ensure that consumers are made aware of them. This approach could lead to untoward effects on choice, such that relevant but nonprominent product features do not factor in as significantly. To test this possibility, we instructed a random sample of 1615 adults to choose between two hypothetical credit cards whose features were shown side by side in tables. The sample was instructed to select the card that would result in the lowest financial charges, given a hypothetical scenario. Critically, we randomly varied whether the annual interest rates and fees were made visually salient by making one, both, or neither brighter than other features. The findings show that even among credit-savvy individuals, choice tends strongly toward the product that outperforms the other on a salient feature. As a result, we encourage regulators to consider not only whether a key feature should be made more salient, but also the guidelines regarding when a key feature should be displayed prominently during credit card acquisition.
监管机构要求贷款机构在客户最终确定信用卡选择之前,在汇总表中显示信用卡功能的子集。一些司法管辖区要求某些功能比其他功能更显眼地显示,以帮助确保消费者了解这些功能。这种方法可能会导致对选择的不利影响,例如相关但不突出的产品特性不会被显著地考虑在内。为了测试这种可能性,我们随机抽取了1615名成年人,让他们在两张假设的信用卡中做出选择,这两张信用卡的特征在表格中并排显示。在一个假设的场景中,受试者被要求选择能产生最低财务费用的信用卡。至关重要的是,我们随机改变了年利率和费用是否比其他特征更亮,使其中一个、两个或两个都比其他特征更亮。研究结果表明,即使是在精通信贷的个人中,选择也强烈倾向于在显著特征上优于其他产品的产品。因此,我们鼓励监管机构不仅要考虑一个关键特征是否应该更加突出,还要考虑在信用卡获取过程中何时应该突出显示一个关键特征的指导方针。

Sludge and transaction costs 污泥和交易成本
IF 5.1 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, APPLIED Pub Date : 2021-04-19 DOI: 10.1017/BPP.2021.12
S. Shahab, Leonhard K. Lades
Behavioral scientists have begun to research ‘sludge,’ excessive frictions that make it harder for people to do what they want to do. Friction is also an important concept in transaction-cost economics. Nevertheless, sludge has been discussed without explicit referral to transaction costs. Several questions arise from this observation. Is the analogy to friction used differently in both literatures? If so, what are the key differences? If not, should we develop the concept of sludge when the well-established literature on transaction costs already exists? This conceptual article shows that sludge and transaction costs are related, but distinct, concepts, and that the literature on sludge can benefit from incorporating elements from transaction-cost research. For example, we suggest defining sludge as aspects of the choice architecture that lead to the experience of costs, organize sludges using a typology inspired by the transaction-cost literature, highlight specificity, uncertainty, and frequency as important determinants of the ‘sludginess’ of choice architecture, and show that sludge audits can be conducted using methods developed in the transaction-cost literature.
行为科学家已经开始研究“污泥”,即让人们更难做自己想做的事的过度摩擦。摩擦也是交易成本经济学中的一个重要概念。然而,关于污泥的讨论没有明确提及交易成本。从这一观察中产生了几个问题。在两篇文献中对摩擦的类比使用不同吗?如果有,关键的区别是什么?如果不是这样,我们是否应该在交易成本的成熟文献已经存在的情况下发展污泥的概念?这篇概念性的文章表明,污泥和交易成本是相关但不同的概念,并且关于污泥的文献可以从纳入交易成本研究的元素中受益。例如,我们建议将污泥定义为导致成本体验的选择架构的各个方面,使用受交易成本文献启发的类型化来组织污泥,强调特殊性、不确定性和频率是选择架构“污泥性”的重要决定因素,并表明可以使用交易成本文献中开发的方法进行污泥审计。

Communicating evidence in icons and summary formats for policymakers: what works? 以图标和摘要形式向决策者传达证据:什么有效?

Policy decisions have vast consequences, but there is little empirical research on how best to communicate underlying evidence to decision-makers. Groups in diverse fields (e.g., education, medicine, crime) use brief, graphical displays to list policy options, expected outcomes and evidence quality in order to make such evidence easy to assess. However, the understanding of these representations is rarely studied. We surveyed experts and non-experts on what information they wanted and tested their objective comprehension of commonly used graphics. A total of 252 UK residents from Prolific and 452 UK What Works Centre users interpreted the meaning of graphics shown without labels. Comprehension was low (often below 50%). The best-performing graphics combined unambiguous metaphorical shapes with color cues and indications of quantity. The participants also reported what types of evidence they wanted and in what detail (e.g., subgroups, different outcomes). Users particularly wanted to see intervention effectiveness and quality, and policymakers also wanted to know the financial costs and negative consequences. Comprehension and preferences were remarkably consistent between the two samples. Groups communicating evidence about policy options can use these results to design summaries, toolkits and reports for expert and non-expert audiences.
政策决策会产生巨大的后果,但关于如何最好地向决策者传达潜在证据的实证研究很少。不同领域(如教育、医学、犯罪)的群体使用简短的图形显示来列出政策选项、预期结果和证据质量,以使这些证据易于评估。然而,对这些表征的理解很少被研究。我们调查了专家和非专家想要什么信息,并测试了他们对常用图形的客观理解。来自Prolific的252名英国居民和452名英国What Works Centre用户解释了无标签图形的含义。理解力低(通常低于50%)。表现最好的图形将明确的隐喻形状与颜色线索和数量指示相结合。参与者还报告了他们想要的证据类型和细节(例如,亚组、不同结果)。用户特别希望看到干预的有效性和质量,政策制定者也希望了解财务成本和负面后果。两个样本的理解力和偏好显著一致。交流政策选择证据的小组可以利用这些结果为专家和非专家受众设计摘要、工具包和报告。
