When Machines Act

This Palgrave Pivot provides a succinct yet holistic foundation in nudge theory, introducing a unique four-quadrant radar model which classifies nudges according to domain of application, intervention mechanism, psychological process, and design features. By mapping nudges across these interconnected analytical dimensions, the book reveals the underlying architecture of behavioral choice interventions.The book aims to root nudge analysis inherently as part of a broader choice architecture paradigm, moving beyond reductive classifications to reveal the hidden geometry of human decision-making. It aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals by highlighting the role of nudge theory in addressing global challenges, from health and environmental behaviors to digital ethics and policy innovation, while incorporating a range of case studies to illustrate the real-world implications of nudges. This concise and accessible resource will be a valuable tool for not only scholars and students, but also policymakers and professionals, working across the behavioral sciences on socio-economic policy issues. Whether you are designing interventions, evaluating nudge effectiveness, or seeking to understand the ethical dimensions of behavioral influence, this framework offers a practical yet theoretically rigorous approach to the evolving landscape of choice architecture.Alessia Dorigoni

A Multidimensional Framework for Nudging

Balancing Nudges between Individual Choice and Environmental Influence

A fascinating deep dive into the dynamic interplay between culture, economics, institutions, and human prosperity. In Pathway to Change, Naci Mocan investigates the economic origins of current cultural beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, highlighting the lasting impact of historical agricultural practices and ecological conditions. He shows that cultural traits evolve in response to external shocks—such as exposure to violence, changes in institutional quality, and the laws and law enforcement—and argues that culture and institutions influence each other: culture shapes the functioning of institutions, while institutions also mold cultural norms. As a result, the success of institutional reforms depends heavily on the cultural context in which they are implemented. Drawing on research from various fields—including economics, evolutionary biology, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, and political science—the author describes how cultural attributes such as trust, honesty, patience, preference for leisure, morality, individualism, and proclivity for violence shape economic outcomes and individual well-being. The book presents evidence on both intergenerational transmission of culture and horizontal transmission within the members of the same generation. It also describes how culture can be shaped and transformed, emphasizing the roles of media, education, laws and law enforcement, and role models. Finally, the book recommends that undesirable cultural attributes that are detrimental to our well-being, determined by scientific criteria, should be modified, and offers policy tools that can be deployed for cultural change.

Contributions to Economics

This book is of interest to economists working in applied demand analysis, marketing professionals studying product substitution and complementarity, and policymakers evaluating the effects of taxes, subsidies, and regulatory interventions on consumer behavior. Applying the analytical framework on the internal structure of consumption, this book explores how different categories of consumer spending interact and how these relationships shape the broader structure of consumption.The analyses focus on timely and policy-relevant issues, including the distributional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, the implementation of safe drinking water standards (with particular attention to low-income households), and the potential effects of carbon taxes on consumer expenditures.A key strength of the framework lies in its ability to derive comprehensive arrays of own- and cross-price elasticities from household expenditure survey data—even in the absence of direct price information.

Perspectives in Behavioral Economics and the Economics of Behavior

Keynesian Behavioral Macroeconomics analyzes Keynes’s landmark contributions in behavioral economics and develops a new and fresh genre of macroeconomic analysis. It compels us to consider seriously the earlier-generation warnings about the impact of investors’ animal spirits and financiers’ liquidity-presence using cognitive-based and social psychology heuristics. Innovative in its subject matter, approach, theoretical development and policy prescriptions, this constructivist pluralist approach can contribute to important debates. This fresh look in macroeconomics can fruitfully be applied by macroeconomists, policymakers, and market participants to prevent effective demand shortages, stimulate the economy, preserve job creation, and impact redistribution, sustainability and social inclusion. In this timely book, Theodore Koutsobinas develops a synthesis of Keynes’s macroeconomic theory with contemporary developments in behavioral macroeconomics to analyze urgent real-world challenges, and he proposes successful solutions for macroeconomic policy. This volume uniquely explains how Keynes’s magnificent, crucial, but long-forgotten dynamics can be analyzed on the basis of behavioral foundations to explain amplified global finance cycles, booms and busts, and macroeconomic instability with harmful effects on incomes and jobs.

Keynesian Behavioral Macroeconomics

SpringerBriefs in Economics

This book argues that formal economic inquiry and proverbial wisdom share a deep epistemic kinship, each functioning as a refined form of everyday cognition for navigating scarcity, uncertainty, and choice. Through peculiar case studies it also considers the contrasts between mountain and maritime economies, rural and metropolitan societies, and explores the profound influence of culture, religion, and gender on regional economic trajectories.. The core thesis is that proverbs encode key economic principles—such as opportunity cost, risk, and incentives—as culturally embedded lessons that illuminate the intuitive and institutional foundations of economic life. Exploring themes that span finance, labor, behavioral biases, inequality, gender, and policymaking, the book investigates how proverbs and economic models converge, diverge, and enrich one another. Framed by the guiding question of what proverbs reveal about how people think and decide in economic contexts, it ultimately presents these two bodies of knowledge as complementary perspectives that together clarify the human predicament of acting under constraint.

The traditional product lifecycle is rapidly losing its explanatory power in today's industrial landscape. Competitive advantage is no longer created primarily at the point of sale but is continuously generated throughout the entire lifecycle through the intelligent integration of products, services, data, and adaptive business models.
This book introduces Lifecycle Value Management as a novel paradigm for engineering, managing, and expanding value across multiple product lifecycles. It argues that industrial systems should no longer be regarded as linearly ageing assets but as dynamic, reconfigurable value systems whose performance, functionality, and economic potential can be continuously enhanced, regenerated, and reinvented. Inspired by the Turritopsis paradigm—the extraordinary biological ability to restart a lifecycle under specific conditions—the book develops a fundamentally new perspective on industrial value creation. It demonstrates how data-driven diagnostics, intelligent services, continuous feedback, digital twins, and targeted reconfiguration enable technical systems to transition repeatedly into new value-generating states instead of following an inevitable path of decline. At the heart of the book is the Lifecycle Value Architecture (LVA), complemented by an integrated operating model structured around the dimensions of Strategy, Data, Performance, and Resilience. Together, these frameworks provide managers, engineers, and researchers with a systematic approach for transforming conventional manufacturing businesses into adaptive, service-oriented, and data-driven value ecosystems. The book combines rigorous scientific foundations with numerous industrial case studies and practical management frameworks. Rather than treating lifecycle management as a maintenance discipline, it establishes it as a strategic capability for creating sustainable competitive advantage, increasing customer value, and unlocking new sources of long-term profitability.
Written for researchers, graduate students, engineers, executives, and decision-makers, this book provides both the conceptual foundation and practical guidance required to rethink industrial systems as continuously evolving value systems and to shape the future of industrial value creation.

From Products to Value Ecosystems

Life Cycle Value Management

You know exactly what you should do. You are not confused about the old 401(k) sitting at a former employer, the beneficiary form you need to update, or the will you need to write. You could pass a quiz on every single one of these financial decisions right now, yet they sit untouched for months or even years.

In The Paralysis Instinct, author Jordan Ellis explores the disorienting gap between having complete financial information and actually taking action. As part of The Money Instinct Library, this book demonstrates that your inaction is not caused by laziness, ignorance, or a lack of motivation. Instead, it is driven by deeply wired psychological mechanisms that make staying still feel like the only safe choice.

Inside, you will discover the real behavioral science behind your most frustrating financial delays:The Status Quo Bias: Why a mediocre, default financial setup will constantly win out over an objectively better arrangement.
Choice Overload &amp; Maximizing: How the endless search for the "perfect" investment option guarantees you will lose money to inflation while deciding.
Omission Bias: Why your brain genuinely believes that doing nothing and facing a bad outcome is safer than making an active choice and risking a mistake.
The Zeigarnik Effect: Why financial conversations with spouses and business partners stay permanently open without ever reaching a resolution.
Mortality Salience: Why tasks like drafting a will trigger a profound, unconscious avoidance response that has nothing to do with the actual paperwork.



You cannot educate your way out of a freeze that was never caused by a lack of education in the first place. Instead of offering empty motivational platitudes to "just do it," The Paralysis Instinct provides precise, structural overrides-like implementation intentions and commitment devices-designed to bypass your brain's natural resistance.

Learn how to shrink your choices, flip your defaults, and take the small, five-minute actions required to finally move the money you always knew you should move.

Why You Can't Make Yourself Move Money You Know You Should Move

The Paralysis Instinct

Classroom Companion: Economics

This textbook offers a distinctive and accessible approach to the economics of uncertainty by placing risk-sharing at the core of the analysis. Rather than relying on the standard principal-agent or mechanism-design framework, it develops a unified perspective that interprets insurance, incentives, and financial arrangements as variations on the possibilities and limits of sharing risk under information frictions.A key strength of the book is its focus on environments in which all agents are exposed to risk. By moving beyond the common assumption of a risk-neutral principal with deep pockets, it provides a more realistic and broadly applicable framework for analysing moral hazard, adverse selection, signalling, and banking models. This perspective enables readers to understand asymmetric information not merely as a contracting problem, but as a constraint on socially valuable risk-sharing arrangements.The exposition combines rigour with accessibility. Formal models are presented with propositions, proofs, and exercises, while requiring only intermediate microeconomics, basic calculus, and elementary probability. This makes the book ideally suited for advanced undergraduate and master’s courses, as well as for readers seeking a clear and coherent introduction to modern information economics.

Static Models of Risk-Sharing

Economics of Uncertainty

A practical, clever, down-to-earth guide to making decisions big or small, fast—from writer, journalist, and nationally acclaimed decision coach Nell McShane Wulfhart. We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do. In a world that glorifies optimization and “smart” choices, we’ve wound up paralyzed, deferring, deliberating, and overthinking to the point of exhaustion.&nbsp; Decision-making has become a source of stress instead of empowerment. Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.
