- Social Norms and Energy Conservation Beyond the US (2020, background): “For the US, though, there is evidence that effects persist over time (Allcott and Rogers 2014 and Brandon et al. 2017).”
- The Long-Run Dynamics of Electricity Demand: Evidence from Municipal Aggregation (2020, background): “For example, Brandon et al. (2017) find that 35–55 percent of the energy reductions due to a non-price intervention (a home energy report) persist even after the treated household moves out of the dwelling, suggesting that investments in physical capital matter for energy consumption changes in…”
- Requiem for a Nudge: Framing effects in nudging honesty (2020, unknown): “…energy consumption, student absenteeism from school, credit card debt, and even the spread of HIV infections, among other examples ( Reinikka and Svensson, 2005; Dupas, 2011; Luttmer and Singhal, 2014; Boyer et al., 2016; Brandon et al., 2017; Rogers and Feller, 2018; Bursztyn et al., 2019 ).”
- A Review of Nudges: Definitions, Justifications, Effectiveness (2020, unknown): “First, a nudge may be implemented in the choice architecture only for a limited time and the behavioral change may somehow persist in the nudged subjects, for example because the nudge created a novel habit (Bernedo et al., 2014; Brandon et al., 2017; Burger & Shelton, 2011; Giné et al., 2010).”
- Which Healthy Eating Nudges Work Best? A Meta-Analysis of Field Experiments (2018, unknown): “In field experiments, treatment effects usually decay over time as people revert to habitual behavior (Brandon et al. 2017).”
