This timely Handbook offers a comprehensive examination of the
growing field of nudging and its impact on society. The editors,
Cass R. Sunstein and Lucia A. Reisch provide readers with a
detailed exploration of the theoretical and empirical work on
nudging, as well as an understanding of current and likely future
developments in the field. Divided into six key thematic parts, the
Handbook covers everything from the foundations of nudging to its
use in organizations. Top international scholars approach the
subject from multiple disciplines and perspectives, examining
current debates in the field, including the relationship between
nudges and freedom; nudges, behavioral biases, and noise; the
fundamental role of default rules and social norms; and how nudging
can enhance human welfare. Health, safety, poverty, employment, the
environment (including climate change), economic growth, health,
safety, and civil rights are among the subjects covered. The
Handbook concludes with a detailed look at contested ideas and
real-world policies, such as ethics and the policies of Covid-19,
as well as providing commentary on misconceptions about nudging.
This Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students in
the fields of behavioural economics, public policy, law, public
administration, public health, food policy, and sustainable
development policy. The state-of-the-art practical insights into
nudging, as well as accessible style, also makes this an
invigorating read for practitioners.
Research on consumption from an environmental perspective has
exploded since the late 1990s. This important new volume cuts
across disciplines to present the latest research in the field. The
book is divided into three parts, the first of which addresses the
problems of consumption both as a concept and as an economic and
social force with high environmental impact. In the second part,
the authors try to explain consumption as an attempt by individuals
to satisfy different types of needs whilst simultaneously being
embedded in certain lifestyles and constrained by time and daily
routines. The final section looks at how change towards less
environmentally damaging consumption patterns can be achieved
through national sustainability and consumer policy measures, as
well as through community building and individual action. In
accordance with the transdisciplinary nature of ecological
economics, the original contributions emanate from a variety of
different perspectives to reflect the diversity of research in this
growing field. By seriously exploring the role of consumption
within ecological economics, this fine book will provide invaluable
reading for students and researchers interested in sustainable
consumption, ecological economics and consumer research.
Many "nudges" aim to make life simpler, safer, or easier for people
to navigate, but what do members of the public really think about
these policies? Drawing on surveys from numerous nations around the
world, Sunstein and Reisch explore whether citizens approve of
nudge policies. Their most important finding is simple and
striking. In diverse countries, both democratic and nondemocratic,
strong majorities approve of nudges designed to promote health,
safety, and environmental protection-and their approval cuts across
political divisions. In recent years, many governments have
implemented behaviorally informed policies, focusing on
nudges-understood as interventions that preserve freedom of choice,
but that also steer people in certain directions. In some circles,
nudges have become controversial, with questions raised about
whether they amount to forms of manipulation. This fascinating book
carefully considers these criticisms and answers important
questions. What do citizens actually think about behaviorally
informed policies? Do citizens have identifiable principles in mind
when they approve or disapprove of the policies? Do citizens of
different nations agree with each other? From the answers to these
questions, the authors identify six principles of legitimacy-a
"bill of rights" for nudging that build on strong public support
for nudging policies around the world, while also recognizing what
citizens disapprove of. Their bill of rights is designed to capture
citizens' central concerns, reflecting widespread commitments to
freedom and welfare that transcend national boundaries.
The implementation of sustainable consumption presents one of the
greatest challenges of our era. Consumption is a wanted and
necessary phenomenon, integral to our society and economy, yet our
way of consuming contradicts important ecological and social
long-term goals. Although research on sustainable consumption has
gained in importance and been addressed by various disciplines,
this original new book is one of the few to compile and summarize
the important research findings. Against this background, the
Handbook of Research on Sustainable Consumption provides an
interdisciplinary overview of recent research on the ecological and
social obstacles we face through over consumption, drawing
attention to the salience of the subject and stimulating discussion
in this area. In 27 chapters, leading authorities in the field
provide concise and accessible expertise, covering a wide range of
approaches from psychology to economics. This collection will be a
useful point of reference for students, researchers and policy
makers seeking a wider understanding of the state-of-the-art of
sustainable consumption research. Contributors: G. Antonides, C.

In diesem Buch wird das vielfältige Themenfeld der
Verbraucherwissenschaften wissenschaftlich-konzeptionell definiert,
skizziert und strukturiert. Ausgewählte Problemfelder der
Verbraucherwissenschaften und der Verbraucherpolitikberatung stehen
im Fokus wie z.B. Finanzen, Digitale Welt, Energie, Ernährung,
Nachhaltigkeit und Gesundheit. Ausgewiesene Expertinnen und
Experten stellen die wichtigsten Themengebiete systematisch vor und
betrachten Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher zusätzlich aus der
Praxisperspektive.  In der 2. Auflage wurden alle Beiträge
aktualisiert und neue Beiträge hinzugefügt. Berücksichtigt
wurden dabei auch die Entwicklungen in der Digitalen Welt, die
derzeit zunehmend Einfluss auf das Erleben und Verhalten der
Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher haben und mit der
Herausbildung zahlreicher Phänomene, Institutionen und Funktionen
einhergehen. Insbesondere wurden das Kapitel III, das sich„der
"Digitalisierung in den Verbraucherwissenschaften“ widmet, sowie
das Kapitel IV zum Thema „Institutionen“ neu strukturiert und
erweitert. Â Der Inhalt Definitionen, begriffliche Abgrenzung
und Entwicklungspfade der Verbraucherwissenschaften

This book explores time use, time policy, well-being and
sustainable development using concepts and findings from time
policy research, socio-ecological sustainability research,
behavioral economics, consumer research, and research into
prosperity and "the good life". Because any change in time
structures, whether opening or working hours, school or travel
times, has large scale impacts on other times that should ideally
be recognized, the political and social restructure and
negotiations for more effective time policy must include
cross-cutting issues in the relevant sector policies - family,
health, consumer, diet, environment, education, technology,
transport, urban and labor market policy - and develop time policy
strategies and instruments specific to each sector. This book is an
interdisciplinary look into how society and government structure
time policy, the procedural component of and possibility of a
transformation or improvement in time-use, i.e. the "how" of
change, what are transformation processes, how can they be
explained, and how can change processes be ideally shaped? This
book outlines the possibility of a transformation to sustainability
in time policy. It will be of interest to researchers in economics,
social and political science, social policy, government, quality of
life studies, and education.
