Here is a downloadable document on three public policy issues (low savings, obesity and gambling addiction) and relationships with behavioural economics.
We focus on some of the behavioural biases relevant to each issues, flag up ways in which businesses use behavioural concepts for their own commercial gain. And we then identify some behavioural nudges and conventional policy interventions. This is a working document from which further analysis and evaluation can flow.
