The Behavioural Economics Guide is back!

by Ipsos-bva Nudge Consulting – French content only

The reference work for discovering the latest applications of behavioural science for brands and institutions!

Having the right information is not enough to adopt the right behaviour. Otherwise, how can we explain, for example, that 26% of doctors smoke?

Behavioural economics seeks to understand the factors that underlie our daily decisions. It teaches us that we are not rational homo economicus, maximising utility, but human beings guided by our emotions and habits, influenced by our physical and social environment. Behavioural sciences help to create an environment that encourages individuals to make decisions that are beneficial to themselves, the community or the planet.

This guide presents the fundamentals of behavioural economics and numerous examples of nudging in a variety of sectors, ranging from public policy to finance, marketing and sustainable development. It features articles by leading authors on these topics. You will also find a selection of must-read books and must-see videos.
