A summary of the book is below. The venue is the Clinton Auditorium in UCD.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs the Internet grows more sophisticated, it is creating new threats to democracy. Social media companies such as Facebook can sort us ever more efficiently into groups of the like-minded, creating echo chambers that amplify our views. It's no accident that on some occasions, people of different political views cannot even understand each other. It's also no surprise that terrorist groups have been able to exploit social media to deadly effect. Welcome to the age of #Republic. In this revealing book, Cass Sunstein, the New York Times bestselling author of Nudge and The World According to Star Wars, shows how today's Internet is driving political fragmentation, polarization, and even extremism—and what can be done about it. Thoroughly rethinking the critical relationship between democracy and the Internet, Sunstein describes how the online world creates \"cybercascades,\" exploits \"confirmation bias,\" and assists \"polarization entrepreneurs.\" And he explains why online fragmentation endangers the shared conversations, experiences, and understandings that are the lifeblood of democracy. In response, Sunstein proposes practical and legal changes to make the Internet friendlier to democratic deliberation. These changes would get us out of our information cocoons by increasing the frequency of unchosen, unplanned encounters and exposing us to people, places, things, and ideas that we would never have picked for our Twitter feed.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E3. The third talk will place from 4pm to 5pm and will involve the presentation of the Ulysses medal to both Professor Sunstein and former US ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power.

Thaler is responsible for a shift in mainstream economics towards more psychological realism in modelling consumer and investor behaviour. He has spent the bulk of his career at the University of Chicago and is seen as the leading figure in the discipline known as behavioural economics.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThaler's ideas are relevant to many areas of public policy in Ireland, in particular pensions. Along with his colleague Benartzi, Thaler designed and evaluated a pension participation scheme called Save More Tomorrow, where people sign up to a pension that starts with zero contributions and then progressively increases along with their salary increases. This type of \"auto-escalation\" is based on two key human decision making factors studied by Thaler - loss aversion whereby people do not want to part with income they have grown accustomed to, and myopia whereby present losses are felt to a far greater extent than future losses. Save More Tomorrow turns these biases on their head and has proven a remarkable way of countering many of the human factors that lead people to under-save.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThaler has also written a great deal about how decision biases leave people open to influence from marketing techniques, and the implications of this work is at the core of a lot of modern regulatory debate.\u0026nbsp; With this in mind, along with Cass Sunstein, Thaler has sought to develop the policy, legal, and regulatory implications of behavioural economics. Their popular book Nudge advocates a widespread reform of policy and regulation around principles of using psychologically-informed interventions to \"unstick\" markets and enable people to make more empowered decisions. The ideas in this book have led to agencies being formed throughout the world, most notably the UK Behavioural Insights team that was established in the Cabinet Office during the Conservative and LibDem coalition administration. As well as niche teams like this, the work has also had an increasing influence on regulation, in particular in light of the financial crisis, and has also come to be more influential in the design of policies across areas such as health, education, and development.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere are several ways that the ideas coming from Thaler and colleagues' work could potentially improve policy in Ireland, including making pension policy more robust to low levels of active decision making, substantially simplifying compliance with administrative requirements, protecting consumers more from exploitative marketing, putting in place safeguards in investment organisations to guard against herding and related biases, and many other policy initiatives. Agencies such as DPER, Department of Finance, Revenue Commissioners, and the Central Bank have published work on this area in the last number of years. The ESRI Pricelab led by Pete Lunn has conducted a wide range of studies on the implications of behavioural economics for regulation. The potential introduction of pension autoenrolment in Ireland comes directly from the behavioural literature and most regulators and government departments are developing capacities to apply behavioural evidence.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThaler's work on policy is based around a number of core academic ideas. His most famous early papers examined phenomena such as mental accounting, whereby people partition their budgets into separate psychological pockets, something that affects their behaviour in many different ways. For example, people tend to be more likely to spend windfall amounts on luxuries, something that is intuitive psychologically but not accounted for in standard models. One of his most cited early papers also looked at the implications of limited self-control for consumer decision making, including the extent to which people might prefer to \"tie their hands\" to overcome the tendency to be present-biased.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHis collaboration with the previous Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman built on previous Nobel-winning work by Kahneman and Tverksy and sought to understand how people evaluate gains and losses differently. This research has generally shown that people value losses to a far greater extent, something that has substantial implications for investment and consumption. The related idea of an endowment effect, namely that people tend to place more value on things they already own rather than gains they could make by speculating, has been used to explain phenomena such as low levels of switching in consumer markets and the tendency for well-being to be more influenced by income decreases than by income increases.\u0026nbsp; \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThroughout the 1990s, Thaler was at the vanguard of a group of scholars that sought to broaden the psychological foundations of economics, away from the dominant models of rational choice. He was by no means the first to do this. Indeed, previous Nobel winners include Amartya Sen, Herbert Simon, Maurice Allais, and Kahneman himself, all of whom pushed back against the assumptions of rationality and self-interested behaviour inherent in textbook economic models. However, it is clear that nobody was more successful than Thaler in gaining acceptance of psychologically-informed models across many areas of economics. As well as those mentioned above, his contributions stretch across many areas of economics and finance including studies examining why stock markets tend to overreact to news, how fairness acts as a constraint on choice and markets, and how pension decisions are made.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn terms of learning more about his ideas and why they are important for policy and business, Thaler's recent book Misbehaving is an accessible and personal account of his role in the development of behavioural economics. Nudge, referred to above, describes his and Sunstein's ideas for applying behavioural research to real-world problems of policy and business. While already a popular set of ideas, the award of the Nobel to Thaler is likely to substantially further accelerate the degree of interest in applications in this area internationally.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003ELiam Delaney is Professor of Economics at UCD and directs the MSc programme in Behavioural Economics.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELinks:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/marginalrevolution.com\/marginalrevolution\/2017\/10\/nobel-prize-awarded-richard-thaler.html\"\u003EThis blogpost\u003C\/a\u003E by Tyler Cowen on Marginal Revolution contains many useful links to Thaler's work and why he was awarded the prize.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EStudents in our undergraduate and postgraduate behavioural economics modules will already have encountered Thaler's work in a number of places, and will come across it more later in the semester as we examine behavioural law and regulation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThaler's major collaborator on law, regulation, and public policy, Cass Sunstein, will speak here in Dublin on November 10th - \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.ie\/2017\/10\/cass-sunstein-in-dublin-november-10th.html\"\u003Edetails here\u003C\/a\u003E."},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.com\/feeds\/8755298906251834013\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=38545607\u0026postID=8755298906251834013","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/38545607\/posts\/default\/8755298906251834013"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/38545607\/posts\/default\/8755298906251834013"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.com\/2017\/10\/richard-thaler.html","title":"Richard Thaler "}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Liam Delaney"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/15656244754607675282"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38545607.post-6079200248386813065"},"published":{"$t":"2017-10-13T16:05:00.000+00:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-10-25T16:44:17.804+00:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"2017 PhD Conference in Behavioural Science in Dublin"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003C!--[if gte mso 9]\u003E\u003Cxml\u003E \u003Co:OfficeDocumentSettings\u003E  \u003Co:RelyOnVML\/\u003E  \u003Co:AllowPNG\/\u003E \u003C\/o:OfficeDocumentSettings\u003E\u003C\/xml\u003E\u003C![endif]--\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"http:\/\/www.ucd.ie\/t4cms\/header_research.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucd.ie\/t4cms\/header_research.jpg\" \/\u003E \u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E2017 PhD Conference in Behavioural Science\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EThursday, the 30th of November 2017\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EUCD Geary Institute for Public Policy, Dublin\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EThe UCD Geary Institute for Public Policy is pleased to announce our PhD Student Conference in Behavioural Science for 2017 in collaboration with the Stirling University Management School.

These insights can inform the design of nonregulatory and nonmonetary policy interventions—as well as more traditional fiscal and coercive measures. To date, much of the discussion of behaviorally informed approaches has emphasized “nudges,” that is, interventions designed to steer people in a particular direction while preserving their freedom of choice. Yet behavioral science also provides support for a distinct kind of nonfiscal and noncoercive intervention, namely, “boosts.” The objective of boosts is to foster people’s competence to make their own choices—that is, to exercise their own agency. Building on this distinction, we further elaborate on how boosts are conceptually distinct from nudges: The two kinds of interventions differ with respect to (a) their immediate intervention targets, (b) their roots in different research programs, (c) the causal pathways through which they affect behavior, (d) their assumptions about human cognitive architecture, (e) the reversibility of their effects, (f) their programmatic ambitions, and (g) their normative implications. We discuss each of these dimensions, provide an initial taxonomy of boosts, and address some possible misconceptions.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EBiography:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003ETill Grüne-Yanoff is professor of philosophy at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHis research focuses on the philosophy of science and on decision theory.

Most recently it has examined the complementarity of laboratory and field experiments. His work in law and economics has centered on the calculation of compensatory damages in tobacco litigation, including testifying for plaintiffs in the Medicaid litigation that resulted in a settlement worth more than $200 billion. Most recently he has worked on the relationship between compensatory and punitive damages, and class actions involving the excessive promotion of certain drugs. His work in international trade policy has employed computable general equilibrium models to quantify the effects of unilateral, regional and multilateral trade reforms. A particular focus of this policy analysis has been to assess the effects of trade reform on poor households in developing countries. His work in environ mental economics has included modeling the effects of alternative policies to mitigate global warming, critiques of casual applications of the contingent valuation method, and improved methods of damage assessment.

Some questions include whether it should be a student-run event in future years, links to the Irish Economics Association, venues, format of sessions, whether it should be restricted to national institutions, whether there should be job-market aspects etc., I hope revamping these sessions will also create an opportunity to discuss collaboration on advanced training in Economics across the country."},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.com\/feeds\/5497340599503321810\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=38545607\u0026postID=5497340599503321810","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/38545607\/posts\/default\/5497340599503321810"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/38545607\/posts\/default\/5497340599503321810"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.com\/2017\/10\/irish-postgraduate-and-early-career.html","title":"Irish Postgraduate and Early Career Conference 2018"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Liam Delaney"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/15656244754607675282"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38545607.post-1178359742926792835"},"published":{"$t":"2017-10-01T13:38:00.000+00:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-10-02T13:07:04.526+00:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Workplace Well-Being Programmes "},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"tr_bq\"\u003EBelow is the submitted text of an article I wrote for the Sunday Business Post - \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.businesspost.ie\/business\/better-feel-better-youll-work-399112?utm_source=twitter\u0026amp;utm_campaign=app_share\"\u003Elink to the final slightly tidier article behind a pay wall here\u003C\/a\u003E. There have been several recent articles particularly in the US context questioning the efficacy of corporate well-being programmes (e.g. \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/H9EHgUSHk8\"\u003Ehere \u003C\/a\u003Eand \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mITwlltsgO\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E with thanks to Brendan Kennelly for suggestions). RAND Europe recently produced a report looking at how various programmes were being implemented in the UK, pointing to a \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rand.org\/randeurope\/research\/projects\/workplace-wellbeing-charter-impact.html\"\u003Erelatively positive view\u003C\/a\u003E of how they are received by workers but also pointing to the dearth of any effectiveness evidence. In Ireland, the main employers group IBEC have launched a new initiative to promote well-being in the workplace - the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thekeepwellmark.ie\/Ibec\/KWMSC.nsf\/vPages\/Home~the-keepwell-mark!OpenDocument\"\u003EKeepwell Mark\u003C\/a\u003E. I spoke at their launch that also included speakers from companies such as Microsoft Ireland and was attended by hundreds of company representatives. The seeming failure of the tested initiatives in the US to convert into improvements in company productivity and the extent to which many of the initiatives in the US even seem to have backfired and in cases reduced employee morale (e.g compulsory drug testing initiatives reducing trust) should give us pause in the Irish context. Should IBEC be successful in bringing many of the country's employers on board such an initiative, it would provide the opportunity for a serious and structured way of evaluating the impact of various features of well-being initiatives and hopefully the potential to avoid rolling out ones that are going to have harmful effects to both productivity and morale, and ultimately to develop an evidence base on the extent to which well-designed initiatives could have potential benefits and the extent of these benefits.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003EThe declines in infant mortality in Ireland in the 1950s still represent one of the state's major achievements. Improvements in sanitation, in particular, led to healthier maternal, infant, and childhood conditions, setting the foundation both for reducing mortality and improving the health of people as they grew up. At least some of the health improvements we are seeing in our aging populations can be traced to this period. Furthermore, while people have spoken about our health system as being a \"black hole\", the improvements in life expectancy in the last 30 years have been remarkable, fuelled in part by reductions in smoking and improved nutrition but also by health services, however still flawed, that have substantially improved with the investments made in them by successive governments.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003EThere is increasing evidence for the interplay between health and economic productivity. As might be expected, economists disagree on the precise relationships, but an increasing body of work has related health to economic productivity at both individual and national levels. In the context of aging populations, it seems obvious that improving health will act at least partly as a bulwark against rising dependency ratios, allowing people to work healthily longer into life. One key element of this is the extent to which mental health and chronic pain influence economic outcomes. Depression and chronic pain have dramatic effects on probabilities of unemployment, lost days at work, and life-time wealth accumulation. Mental health might well be the biggest economic concern for the Irish economy in terms of the scope and severity of the effects. Scholars such as Richard Layard have called for major and transformative levels of investments in mental health across countries to understand conditions more and develop and scale-up effective treatments. More broadly, developing workplaces and health services that break the link between mental health and economic deprivation is one of the major tasks of the 21st century.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003EAs well as the implications for economic productivity, there has been an increasing emphasis on how to incorporate health and well-being into policy making as a goal and indicator of progress. A range of high-level reports have asked about how to construct measures that go beyond GDP and economic measures. The incorporation of factors such as literacy, life expectancy, economic inequality and other measures of welfare provides a more rounded account of the progress of nations and has a long history. More recently, the incorporation of measures of subjective welfare and of mental health has become the focus of attention.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003EThe development of workplace programmes to improve health and well-being should be seen in this context, both in relation to their potential role in productivity and as contributing to well-being as an end in itself. So far, such programmes are in their relative infancy. The evidence on the links between well-being and work is very strong but that is different to saying we know how to influence those links. The internet is replete with examples of over-claims about the benefits of introducing health and well-being programmes in work settings. So far, the evidence is slight that productivity can be directly improved by such programmes. There are certainly many studies showing that employees will engage with many of them and enjoy aspects of them etc., But whether investment in worker health and well-being driven by programmatic activity of firms can be part of a major societal shift in well-being and productivity is still an open question.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003EThere are clearly many plausible reasons why providing access to healthier food at work, exercise facilities, health screening, and related services might impact on both well-being and productivity. But there are also pitfalls. Such facilities might only be used by people who are already doing fine in terms of health and well-being. Framed badly, corporate well-being programmes might come across as intrusive or patronising, an attempt to distract from wider issues, or even a subtle hint that worker dissatisfaction is due to their own fitness or mental health issues. Encouraging people to disclose mental health issues to their employer often ignores the fact that many companies have very little idea what to do with such a disclosure and there are risks that people could end up being tacitly discriminated against. Recent reviews of the literature make it clear that there are not simple off-the-shelf models for intervening in worker well-being that will also raise productivity. If this is to be achieved, it will require iteration and commitment to testing, and a willingness to measure and acknowledge failure.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003EEven with all the above in mind, accumulating evidence on work-place programmes that genuinely have a causal impact on worker well-being and productivity would be a substantial advance for both business and policy in Ireland. Adopting a hard-headed approach to evaluating these programmes will be key. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003ELiam Delaney is Professor of Economics at UCD and directs the MSc in Behavioural Economics.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.com\/feeds\/1178359742926792835\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=38545607\u0026postID=1178359742926792835","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/38545607\/posts\/default\/1178359742926792835"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/38545607\/posts\/default\/1178359742926792835"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.com\/2017\/10\/workplace-well-being-programmes.html","title":"Workplace Well-Being Programmes "}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Liam Delaney"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/15656244754607675282"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38545607.post-5838804702778311206"},"published":{"$t":"2017-09-30T21:31:00.001+00:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-10-01T13:57:33.228+00:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Economics, Psychology, and Policy Links 30\/09\/17 "},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"Our new research group launched on September 8th at an event with Professor Peter John.

This is a significant report in terms of Irish public policy and also contributes to the growing international literature in this area. A summary of the report is below.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cblockquote style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EWhile audit and other risk management interventions are effective compliance tools, they can be expensive and time consuming for both Revenue and taxpayers. Targeted treatments using behavioural science can be a complementary and cost-effective tool to improve compliance. A summary of key findings across four behavioural insights is below.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EDeterrence: Deterrence strategies (e.g., highlighting possible sanctions) dissuade taxpayers from non-compliant behaviour. The research confirms that deterrent effects significantly improve taxpayer compliance, particularly when combined with other insights. They impact different taxpayer segments differently.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ESimplification and Salience: Compliance or other behaviours can be enhanced through simpler presentation of information and by drawing attention to key details. For tax administrations, this may involve highlighting the third-party information held, for example through correspondence or the pre-filling of tax returns. Information in any communications should be presented in the most clear and simple way possible, including bolding and centred text.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EPersonalisation: International research has shown the potential of more personalised correspondence, which is increasingly becoming a possibility given technological advancements. Revenue trials confirm that personalisation leads to greater and quicker engagement, especially when multiple elements of personalisation are applied.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ESocial Norms: The behaviour of others can influence an individual’s choices. Revenue research finds that social norms are generally not effective at influencing behaviour. However, there is limited evidence indicating that these may improve taxpayer compliance when combined with other insights.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cblockquote style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EAccording to a meta-analysis, which weights the result of 20 trials by sample size, the most effective insights tend to be deterrence (+8.0% improvement in targeted behaviour), personalisation (+4.0%) simplification and salience (+3.3%) and social norms (-1.6%). The wording and design of communications can affect taxpayer compliance. Even seemingly insignificant changes to correspondence can significantly change behaviour. While these lessons have mainly been learned from letters, they should be considered in any Revenue communication with taxpayers.\u003C\/blockquote\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.com\/feeds\/2526420300742848778\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=38545607\u0026postID=2526420300742848778","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/38545607\/posts\/default\/2526420300742848778"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/38545607\/posts\/default\/2526420300742848778"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/economicspsychologypolicy.blogspot.com\/2017\/05\/irish-revenue-randomised-trials.html","title":"Irish Revenue Randomised Trials "}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Liam Delaney"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/15656244754607675282"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}}]}});
