The paper "It’s time we put agency into Behavioural Public Policy" by Sanchayan Banerjee, Till Grüne-Yanoff, Peter John, and Alice Moseley argues that promoting agency—people's ability to form intentions and act freely—should be a primary objective of Behavioural Public Policy (BPP). Contemporary BPPs often override agency by using automatic psychological processes, which can lead to ethical and efficacy issues. The authors propose three alternative BPP frameworks that enhance agency: boosts, debiasing, and nudge+. Boosts improve decision-making competences through education, debiasing encourages reflection to reduce cognitive biases, and nudge+ combines nudging with reflection to enable citizens to evaluate the fit of interventions with their goals. These frameworks aim to complement existing BPP tools while enhancing citizens' agency. The paper discusses the philosophical underpinnings of agency, the limitations of current BPP practices, and the potential benefits of these agency-enhancing approaches. It concludes by suggesting that governments can implement these frameworks in practical ways, such as mandating debiasing techniques or nudge+ interventions to complement nudges, and investing in educational programs to foster agency.The paper "It’s time we put agency into Behavioural Public Policy" by Sanchayan Banerjee, Till Grüne-Yanoff, Peter John, and Alice Moseley argues that promoting agency—people's ability to form intentions and act freely—should be a primary objective of Behavioural Public Policy (BPP).
