A Political Economy of Behavioural Public Policy

Autor Adam Oliver
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 feb 2023
"My aim in the Origins book was to outline the foundations and development of the relatively new subfield of behavioural public policy.2 Given that behavioural public policy is defined as the use of behavioural economics, and behavioural science more broadly, to inform public policy design, that book necessarily included a brief summary of the development of behavioural economics, and indeed of standard rational choice theory, also.3 In that vein, broadly speaking, the book considered two principal lines of inquiry: namely, the early challenges that questioned the descriptive validity of the axioms of expected utility theory (e.g. the Allais and Ellsberg paradoxes), and the suggestion that people employ decision-making heuristics - which challenges the assumption that they maximise expected utility -"--

Recenzii

'A Political Economy of Behavioural Public Policy is packed with insights regarding the role of government. Adam Oliver's concerns with the role of reciprocity in human life take behavioural economics one step further. In his new version of political liberalism, ideally, governments free people to adopt their own views regarding how they can contribute to the happiness of others - and, as a by-product, they get a sense of worth from making such a contribution.' George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001
'Adam Oliver's newest book, the coda to his trilogy, is essential reading for everyone interested in the political economy of behavioural public policy. Though rooted in classical liberalism, it articulates a coherent argument for limited government regulation to curb abuses of autonomy by those who would selfishly impose behaviourally informed harms on others, rather than to 'correct' behaviorally influenced choices. The book rewards readers with Oliver's insightful and provocative perspective.' B. Douglas Bernheim, Stanford University
