Understanding Behaviour for Effective Public Policy-Making
Résumé
The effectiveness of social and economic public policy interventions largely depends on how the agents who will be exposed to them respond to their implementation. Driven by interdisciplinary research that draws heavily on behavioural science, economics research has undergone a behavioural revolution which has considerably deepened the traditional representation of the determinants of behaviour on which its public policy recommendations are based. This article provides an overview of the implications of these extensive changes in economic thought on public policy-making, applied specifically to the case of tax evasion. Beyond “nudges”, the most well-known manifestation of behavioural economics, this behavioural approach enables both a better understanding of the anticipated impact of traditional public intervention tools and the emergence of new levers for intervention.
