• Lessons learned from developing integrated ecosystem assessments to inform marine ecosystem-based management in the USA (2014, unknown): “Insights from behavioural science can help guide the development of socially meaningful IEA products most likely to garner public support for, and participation in, EBM implementation (cf. Thaler and Sunstein, 2003).”
• Motivating Sustainable Food Choices (2014, unknown): “Much of the research devoted to this idea falls under the umbrella of libertarian (or “soft”) paternalism, otherwise referred to as asymmetric interventions (Thaler & Sunstein, 2003).”
• Debiasing Decisions (2015, unknown): “Selecting a default option that is beneficial for the decision maker or society can improve the public good while preserving freedom of choice (Camerer et al., 2003; Thaler & Sunstein, 2003, 2008).”
• Like ripples on a pond: behavioral spillovers and their implications for research and policy (2015, background): “Policymakers have begun taking seriously the results of behavioral research (Camerer, 1999; Camerer, Issacharoff, Loewenstein, O’Donoghue, & Rabin, 2003; Congdon, Kling, & Mullainathan, 2011; Dolan et al., 2011; Shafir, 2012; Sunstein, 2011; Thaler & Sunstein, 2003).”

• Green nudges: Do they work? Are they ethical? (2016, background): “…in this context, and a subset of BEPs, are ‘green nudges’, a part of the well-known nudge agenda popularized by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein (Thaler and Sunstein, 2003; Sunstein and Thaler, 2003; Thaler and Sunstein, 2008; Sunstein, 2014a) and implemented by governments across the globe.5…”
• Whatever the customer wants, the customer gets? Exploring the gap between consumer preferences and default electricity products in Germany (2013, unknown): “Thus, the existence of inertia also explains the fact that default rules tend to be ‘‘sticky’’ (Thaler and Sunstein, 2003).”
• From intention to action: Can nudges help consumers to choose renewable energy? (2014, background): “Due to their limitations in cognitive processes and attention, individuals have difficulties understanding the situation they are in and suffer from an imperfect ability to process new information (Ariely, 2009; Spiegler, 2011; Thaler and Sunstein, 2003).”
• The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: A Unified Approach to Behavioral Welfare Economics1 (2016, unknown): “Libertarian paternalism and nudges Another important strand of the literature advocates nudges, defined as noncoercive changes in “choice architectures” that minimally impact opportunities, but nevertheless incline people toward “good” decisions (Thaler & Sunstein, 2003).”
• What's the right thing to do? Increasing pro-sociality with simple moral nudges (2017, unknown): “Among these mechanisms, especially important, because easy and cheap to implement, are the so-called nudges, that is, mechanisms that can promote prosocial behaviour, without changing people’s action space and their economic incentives (23-24).”
• Bridging the Energy Efficiency Gap: Policy Insights from Economic Theory and Empirical Evidence (2014, unknown): “Subsidies may take the form of rebates, tax incentives, or low-cost loans for the purchase of energy-efficient durables.”
• From Nudging to Budging: Using Behavioural Economics to Inform Public Sector Policy (2013, unknown): “Introduction Over the last decade, some of the world’s leading behavioural economists have been involved in attempts to develop philosophical frameworks for applying behavioural economic findings to public policy concerns (Camerer et al., 2003; Sunstein and Thaler, 2003; Thaler and Sunstein, 2008).”
