Do People Like Nudges
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that people tend to have serious objections to mandates as such, but they do not have similar objections to nudges, and the support evaporates when people suspect the motivations of those who are engaged in nudging and when they fear that because of inertia and inattention, citizens might end up with outcomes that are inconsistent with their interests or their values.
Journal ArticleDOI
