Behavioral economics of the Covid-19 pandemic ; Economía conductual de la pandemia Covid-19
We study the Covid-19 pandemic from the point of view of behavioral economics, which combines economics and psychology. We analyze the biases (for example, optimism bias) that may have had a greater impact on decision-making regarding the pandemic, as well as potential public health policies from a behavioral economics perspective. We contrast the use of «nudges» (non-coercive measures that do not use economic incentives) with legislative measures, and we advocate for a comprehensive approach that jointly uses the best interventions available, to generate healthy habits (that reduce the transmission of the virus). Finally, we apply this approach to the promotion of vaccination. ; Estudiamos la pandemia de Covid-19 desde el punto de vista de la economía del comportamiento, que aúna economía y psicología. Analizamos los sesgos (por ejemplo, exceso de optimismo) que pueden haber tenido un mayor impacto en la toma de decisiones referentes a la pandemia, así como posibles políticas de salud pública desde el enfoque de la economía del comportamiento. Contrastamos el uso de «nudges» (medidas no coercitivas y que no usan incentivos económicos) con medidas legislativas, y abogamos por un enfoque integral que utilice las mejores intervenciones disponibles en conjunto, para generar hábitos de conducta saludables (que reduzcan la transmisión del virus). Por último, aplicamos este enfoque a la promoción de la vacunación.

The Dozen Things Experimental Economists Should Do (More of)
What was once broadly viewed as an impossibility—learning from experimental data in economics—has now become commonplace. Governmental bodies, think tanks, and corporations around the world employ teams of experimental researchers to answer their most pressing questions. For their part, in the past two decades academics have begun to more actively partner with organizations to generate data via field experimentation. Although this revolution in evidence‐based approaches has served to deepen the economic science, recently a credibility crisis has caused even the most ardent experimental proponents to pause. This study takes a step back from the burgeoning experimental literature and introduces 12 actions that might help to alleviate this credibility crisis and raise experimental economics to an even higher level. In this way, we view our "12 action wish list" as discussion points to enrich the field.

Nudges y la pandemia: un análisis desde la economía y el derecho conductual. Informe SESPAS 2022 ; Nudges and the pandemic: An analysis from economics and behavioural law. SESPAS Report 2022
La economía del comportamiento (que aúna economía y psicología) ofrece claves para entender las decisiones tomadas por dirigentes políticos y por la ciudadanía durante la pandemia de COVID-19 a través de los llamados sesgos cognitivos. Estos sesgos pueden ser contrarrestados mediante intervenciones conductuales, denominadas nudges, para promocionar conductas responsables en la «nueva normalidad». Además de repasar, desde la óptica de la economía del comportamiento, el pasado, el presente y el futuro de los elementos conductuales que rodean a la pandemia y su gestión, este artículo propone la formalización jurídica de los nudges, para lo cual deben cumplirse tres estándares mínimos: la exigencia de transparencia, la proscripción de la arbitrariedad y la puesta en valor de su eficiencia. Sugerimos, de igual forma, diseñar protocolos para futuras pandemias, de suerte que los nudges y las medidas legislativas duras puedan complementarse de una manera armónica y escalonada. Los nudges se prestan a una implementación rápida y poco coercitiva, por lo que resultan especialmente apropiados en orden al encauzamiento de las conductas más leves, pudiendo así reservarse otras medidas, como las sanciones, para las situaciones más graves. ; Behavioural economics (a combination of economics and psychology) provides keys to understand decisions made by politicians and citizens along the COVID-19 pandemic through the so-called cognitive biases. These biases can be offset by implementing behavioural interventions named "nudges" in order to promote responsible behaviours in the "new normality". This paper analyses, from a behavioural economics perspective, past, present and future of behavioural aspects surrounding the pandemic. Besides, this paper proposes different ways to formalize nudges according to law, which needs the fulfilment of three minimum requirements, namely: transparency, non-arbitrariness and efficiency. Furthermore, it is also suggested that protocols and contingency plans are set up to face future pandemics, in ...
