Problems of Behavioural Economic Interventions in Public Policy in the World

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to discuss the current state and issues related to the application of behavioural economic interventions in public policy from a historical perspective. Although the term "behavioural economic engineering" was first used in 2012, writers on behavioural economics had proposed solutions aimed at improving public policies long before and achieved some success. Over time, the belief was reinforced that, to a limited extent, behavioural economic interventions can contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of public policies, particularly in areas such as tax behaviour, health, environmental issues, energy. The main thesis of the article asserts that within behavioural economic engineering, there are numerous opportunities and areas for utilising established intervention tools that could increase the effectiveness of public policies; however, their application is insufficient compared to the accumulated potential. The article includes a synthetic historical overview of the issues, a discussion on the nature of behavioural intervention tools and a review of the effectiveness of selected behavioural interventions in public policies in taxation, environmental protection and health in the world.
