regulation, behavioral analysis, rational choice, economics and lawAbstract
A growing interest in psychology applied to regulation has been translated into strategies of regulation by architecture or interventions based on nudges. Thus, the contest of psychology intervenes in the widely developed interaction between economics and law. However, as discussed in the present work, a more in-depth study of the costs and benefits that specific behavioral interventions imply is required. In particular, the judgment of other people's preferences and the transparency of nudge present difficulties that have not yet been definitively resolved by behavioral law & economics enthusiasts.
