Cleaner nudges? Policy labels and investment decision-making (2018)
Journal Article
Lange, I., Moro, M., & Rahman, M. (2018). Cleaner nudges? Policy labels and investment decision-making. Energy Journal, 39(6), 27-52. https://doi.org/10.5547/01956574.39.6.ilan

Recent evidence suggests that labeling of unconditional cash transfers leads recipients to spend more on the labeled good. In this paper we show that the Winter Fuel Payment, an unconditional cash transfer, has distortionary effects on the market for... Read More about Cleaner nudges?
