This discussion examines the relationship between transparency and nudging in public policy. The author explores the ethical, political, and effectiveness concerns surrounding nudges, particularly regarding their potential for manipulation. The discussion reviews the existing empirical literature on how transparency affects people's choices and evaluations of nudges. While the evidence suggests that nudges remain effective even when people are informed about them, the podcast identifies several methodological limitations in the current research, particularly in the operationalization of transparency and the presence of demand effects. The discussion provides recommendations for future research to address these limitations and to enhance the study of transparency in nudging.Book Recommendations for further understanding of the subject Nudge by Richard Thaler and Cass R SunsteinInside the Nudge Unit by David HalpernAccess the Complete Reading List on Amazon
