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 significantly reduce take-up of sustainable practices.

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
Finished. Excellent set of talks. Behavioral science and policy in fantastic shape in Ireland.

Brexit sludge
French pupils denied entry to the UK by British officials due to a trivial post-Brexit form error. 🤦🏻♂️
Sad for those kids and so frustrating. Is this really what the UK voted for?

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...

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.
