Great news, congrats!
Every little hurts: Even small amounts of ‘sludge’ undermine the adoption of environmentally friendly business practices
Policymakers often introduce programs to encourage businesses to adopt environmentally friendly practices. But even minor administrative hurdles - known as "sludge" - can…
Our final @epaireland.bsky.social-funded policy brief on administrative frictions in Climate Action Plans has just been published, examining the Shared Island Sports Clubs EV Charger Scheme launched in February 2023. To date, no chargers have been installed... 1/X

Thread gives the 20 talks at yesterday's economics, psychology & policy workshop in Dublin. 17th time we have done it & the best. Great to see sustained & embedded behavioral research across climate change, antimicrobial resistance, financial regulation, inclusive design, admin burden, & others
Here is Liam introducing our keynote
Brexit sludge
Yes, please. All the best
Next Week - the next IBPPA online seminar: Using behavioural science in public sector AI rollouts. All IBPPA members welcome, as usual. Weds, December 11, 3pm (GMT/UTC).
For others, do check out the membership details, the seminars and other benefits on the website www.ibppa.org/post/ibppa-o...
New policy report published by the Irish EPA on #BehaviouralScience and #nudging applied to #EnvironmentalPolicy.
Maybe a good resource to share with people who ask you about an intro to behavioural science and policy.

One of my favourite graphs from our Day Reconstruction Method papers: 2 studies show people have a higher sense of meaning, value, and purpose when they engage in some (but not all) pro-environmental behaviours. Link to study here www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Hope it never happens
How much would Musk need to offer so @bsky.app would be willing to sell the app?
Always thought a survey with academics around the world about the sludge and admin burden at their institution would be great. Eg the level of sludge should inform which job to take (if you have a choice)
So happy to be back in Ireland for this! 20 #behaviouralscience presentations including a Keynote by Faisal Naru. Can't think of a better day spent in the office.
Good call, I added that hashtag. Is there a space left in your starter pack?
There is a little bit. We started a living literature review which might be helpful

Video of my recent seminar with @lklades.bsky.social on ethics as the foundation of applied behavioral science. On central role of pragmatic, contextual, multi-dimensional ethical appraisals across the life of behavioral public policy initiatives. #behaviouralscience

Yes! Looking forward to the announcement
Two great conferences for behavioural science next year:

New paper draft with Patricia Lentz and Cara Augustenborg on
#AdministrativeBurdens as Barriers to Afforestation: A #SludgeAudit of Ireland’s Afforestation Scheme
I think this is the first sludge audit in the environmental area.

Comments very welcome!
I'm very happy about this because it started with a summer research project with MSc Environmental Policy student Federica Nova. We also wrote a blog post on "Nudges and Other Behavioural Public Policy Instruments to Encourage Environmentally Friendly Behaviour"

New paper on the ethics of meat-reduction nudges
While many studies are being published on ways to nudge people to reduce their meat consumption, the question of whether such nudges are ethically legitimate is rarely discussed in the literature.

Absolutely delighted to co-host the 16th Annual Irish Economics, Psychology, and Policy Conference (Dec 14 in UCD Blackrock). Here is the preliminary schedule.
bsp.ucd.ie/16th-irish-e...
16 presentations plus an exciting keynote by Prof Lars Tummers!
Thanks for a fantastic talk @erikangner.bsky.social! There will be a video of the talk on the Irish behavioural science and policy network page www.irishbspn.org and I'd strongly recommend watching it (and then getting a copy of the book).
Never understood the focus on hypothetical bias instead of other "anomalies" in SP research with arguably much stronger influence on Stated Pref. Seems the wrong bias to work on, a choice maybe driven by hypocrisy? "Incentives solve everything" is just not true
* 16th Irish Economics and Psychology Conference on December 14, 2023
There is a call for papers for this one
bsp.ucd.ie/16th-irish-e...
This is often the behavioural science highlight of the year. Please submit or get in touch!
