Title When and how to nudge? Choice architecture in the field of public policy with a focus on Hungary
Summary Present work examines the nature and application of nudges. It aims to provide arguments for when choice architectural interventions are appropriate, why such methods should be preferred to coercive measures and what types of nudges are acceptable. Apart from establishing a theoretical framework encompassing the aforementioned dimensions, present thesis also uses interview data to gain insights into the conditions Hungarians set for accepting nudges. By comparing my empirical findings with the theoretical framework it is shown that apart from complying with certain pre-set conditions, in order to create successful and broadly accepted interventions, significant attention has to be paid to the criteria specified by the general public as well.
