Nudging effective climate policy design

Abstract: This paper applies insights from behavioural economics literature to design options in climate policy in order to make suggestions on how to create and pass effective climate regulation. It posits that policymakers can have a more comprehensive toolkit for tackling climate change by utilising knowledge of flawed human behaviour. It makes three main suggestions. First, when pricing carbon, the use of policy bundling helps to counter cognitive biases such as 'loss aversion'. Second, financial incentives are requ… Show more

“…Hence, social scientists have started to research different methods to overcome cognitive biases to achieve more effective communication strategies regarding climate change (Beattie et al, 2017). Bowman (2011) noted that policy on climate change stands a better chance of success if cognitive biases are taken into account when formulating and communicating policy. If these biases are neglected in the communication of climate change policy, messaging can have the opposite of their intended impact (de Vries et al, 2020).…”

“…Maletta (2011), 1800'lü yılların ortalarından beri ekonominin, ekonomik aktörlerin faydalarını ve refahlarını rasyonel kararlarla maksimize etmesine dayandığını; bu çok sayıda rasyonel karardan oluşan ekonomik düzenin Pareto optimum olarak kabul edildiğini belirtmektedir. Bowman (2011) tarafından yapılan bir çalışmada, etkili iklim düzenlemesinin nasıl oluşturulacağı konusunda önerilerde bulunabilmek için, davranışsal ekonomi literatüründeki görüşler incelenmektedir. Richard Thaler ve Cass Sunstein, Dürtme (2008) adlı kitapta, politika yapıcılarının kamu düzenini sağlamak adına karar alırken, bireysel ve toplumsal çıkarlar doğrultusunda insan davranışlarının değiştirilebileceğini öne sürmüştür.…”

“…This is likely to have an impact on climate policy acceptance and energy conservation behavior. Incentives may lead people, who are usually short-term oriented, to take into consideration the long-term damages of their climate-unfriendly behavior (Bowman 2011). Importantly, research suggests that law, via instrument choice and its institutional design, is able to change the 'environmental mind' (Feldman and Perez 2009).…”
