Chater & Loewenstein have done a service to the field by raising the fundamental issue of how the political process distorts well-intentioned efforts at behavioral public policy. We connect this argument to broader research on government failure, particularly public choice theory in economics. We further suggest ways that behavioral research can help identify and mitigate such failures.
查特和洛伊温斯坦提出了政治过程如何扭曲善意的行为公共政策努力这一基本问题,为该领域做出了贡献。我们将这一论点与政府失灵的更广泛研究联系起来,特别是经济学中的公共选择理论。我们进一步提出了行为研究如何帮助识别和减轻这些失灵的方法。
