Transcript
Summarize the key concepts covered in this lecture

Three key concepts from the lecture:

  • Nudge theory — small changes in choice architecture (e.g., defaults) dramatically influence decisions without limiting freedom (Prof. Harris)
  • Opt-out vs opt-in framing: organ donation rates jump from 15% to 90%+ just by changing the default option (Prof. Harris)
  • Loss aversion — people feel losses ~2x more than gains, driving irrational economic behavior (Prof. Harris)
