Utilizing extensive research in economics, psychology, political
science, neuroscience and evolutionary theory, Ananish Chaudhuri
provides a critical perspective on the role of cognitive biases in
decision-making during the Covid-19 pandemic. The extensive use of,
and support for, stringent social distancing measures in particular
is explored in depth. Nudged into Lockdown? provides clear
explanations of complex scientific information regarding Covid-19,
vaccines, and policy responses, to highlight issues at the center
of policy-making during the pandemic. With a comprehensive overview
of the policy debates around Covid-19, the book offers an
alternative thought-provoking perspective on the topic, as well as
suggestions for policy-making during future pandemics and other
crises. It further highlights applications of a range of concepts
from heuristics and biases literature, including priming, framing,
anchoring, Prospect Theory, and loss aversion. Providing directions
for future research in the area, this book will be an invigorating
read for established academics, as well as postgraduate students
looking to undertake research in Covid-19 related decision-making.
It will also be a critical read for economics, political science,
and public policy scholars seeking a deeper understanding of the
topic.
