Behavioral changes in daily life are essential for saving energy, preventing diseases, and reducing damage from natural disasters. However, it is often difficult to set in place laws and other regulatory measures that are directly targeted at individual behavioral changes. That is why there is an increasing interest in using behavioral science insights, which are called “nudges”. They utilize the psychological biases of people in an attempt to lead their behaviors toward “good” outcomes. This symposium will look into innovative approaches for public policy and business utilizing nudges, focusing on energy savings and health promotion.
