Most-cited papers in Behavioural Public Policy

The contact hypothesis re-evaluated

Elizabeth Levy Paluck, Seth Ariel Green, Donald P. Green · 10 Jul 2018

Abstract This paper evaluates the state of contact hypothesis research from a policy perspective. Building on Pettigrew and Tropp's (2006) influential meta-analysis, we assemble all intergroup contact studies that feature random assignment and delayed outcome measures, of which there are 27 in total, nearly two-thirds of which were published following the original review. We find…

Motivated numeracy and enlightened self-government

Dan M. Kahan, Ellen Peters, Erica Dawson et al. · 1 May 2017

By contrast, ‘nudges’ provide behavioural solutions to problems that have generally been assumed to originate from limitations in human decision making, such as present bias. While policy-makers have good…

Identifying the most important predictors of support for climate policy in the United States

Matthew H. Goldberg, Abel Gustafson, Matthew T. Ballew et al. · 24 Aug 2020

Abstract Reducing global warming will require enacting strong climate policies, which is unlikely to happen without public support. While prior research has identified varied predictors of climate change policy support, it is unclear which predictors are strongest for the American electorate as a whole, and which predictors are strongest for Democrats and Republicans. In a…
