TL;DR: In Nudge as discussed by the authors, Thaler and Sunstein argue that human beings are susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder and make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.

TL;DR: Evidence from a selection of research topics relevant to pandemics is discussed, including work on navigating threats, social and cultural influences on behaviour, science communication, moral decision-making, leadership, and stress and coping.

TL;DR: The rise of fake news highlights the erosion of long-standing institutional bulwarks against misinformation in the internet age as discussed by the authors. But much remains unknown regarding the vulnerabilities of individuals, institutions, and society to manipulations by malicious actors.

TL;DR: Group polarization has many implications for economic, political, and legal institutions as discussed by the authors, including juries, legislatures, courts, and regulatory commissions, and it is closely connected to current concerns about the consequences of the Internet; it also helps account for feuds, ethnic antagonism and tribalism.

TL;DR: In this paper, a broad vision of how law and economics analysis may be improved by increased attention to insights about actual human behavior is presented, including cognitive and motivational problems of both citizens and government.
