☆ How Behavioral Economics Took Over America - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Leif Weatherby | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
My watch constantly buzzes with “relax reminders.” The number of calories appears next to every menu item at fast-food restaurants. The “nudge doctrine” the pair developed has led to the creation of hundreds of “nudge units” in governments all over the world (including our own), that seek to put nudges in policies and procedures. The science behind nudging is little more than a thin set of claims about how humans are “predictably irrational,” and our policies and systems should heavily divest from its influence. The nudge doctrine originated in behavioral economics, a field of applied social science that has deeply influenced public policy and algorithm design. Behavioral economics is based in large part on the Nobel-winning insights of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, whose groundbreaking experiments in the 1970s showed that humans made systematic errors when reasoning about statistics.

☆ How Nobel economists spend their $1 million winnings
  + stars: | 2023-11-20 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Every year, researchers in economics are awarded the Nobel Prize, alongside a hefty sum in winnings. All you have to do is bag a Nobel Prize. Franco Modigliani, an MIT professor who nabbed the Nobel in economics in 1985 , got about $225,000 in winnings. But, ultimately, he wanted to spend his winnings according to his own research on people's saving and spending habits. So when he was asked how he'd spend what was, in 2017 dollars, around $1.1 million in winnings, Thaler told reporters : "I will try to spend it as irrationally as possible."

☆ Don't be fooled by these 9 common money myths, finance gurus say
  + stars: | 2023-04-01 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +8 min
CNBC polled eight personal finance experts to help answer one question: What are the biggest money myths out there for consumers? Dealers therefore can have an incentive to charge a higher rate because they will also make more money, she said. Myth #3: Financial 'advice' always has your best interests at heartThere's a misconception that every financial advisor is a "fiduciary," said George Kinder, who pioneered the "life planning" branch of financial advice. "Although households and regulators remain concerned about the cost of financial advice, it's the absence of holistic financial advice that turns out to be so expensive," he said. There are many different fee models for financial advice, and the cost doesn't have to be significant: Many advisors have hourly or project rates, for example.
☆ Americans need to save more for retirement, and they are about to get extra help
  + stars: | 2022-12-21 | by ( Bob Pisani | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The huge omnibus spending bill that was unveiled Tuesday contains an important series of provisions to help Americans save more. Congress built on that suggestion: the Pension Protection Act of 2006 encouraged employers to adopt automatic enrollment plans. The Secure 2.0 bill further codifies that practice into law. Americans don't save enough for retirement Remember the old "three legged stool" for retirement: personal savings, a pension and Social Security. Thank you, Richard Thaler Thaler won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2017 for his contributions to understanding human behavior.
