Professor Thaler’s ideas revolutionised the teaching and practice of economics. The first edition of Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness inspired the establishment of more than 400 ‘nudge’ units in governments around the world as well as countless behavioural science teams in every part of the economy. The webinar will also include an opportunity for you to ask Professor Thaler questions, you can submit questions on slido using the event code #SBI. The event will be live, interactive and – honouring Professor Thaler’s cardinal nudge rule - it will be fun!
