Sunstein-Thaler Framework

The Sunstein-Thaler Framework is a way to design policies that help people make better choices without restricting options. It leverages "nudges," subtle cues or arrangements, to influence behavior positively. For example, placing healthier foods at eye level encourages better diet choices. This approach respects individual freedom while guiding decisions in beneficial directions, balancing autonomy with improved societal outcomes. It's grounded in behavioral science, recognizing that small environmental tweaks can lead to significant improvements in decision-making and well-being.
