David Halpern is the President & Founding Director of the Behavioral Insights Team. It started as a “nudge unit” in the British government but has gone on to become its own company with offices around the world. We talked to David in 2021 when we were gathering interviews for our podcast series, They Thought We Were Ridiculous: The Unlikely Story of Behavioral Economics. But he had a lot of great insight into the role of behavioral science in public policy, so I wanted to share our full conversation as a standalone episode.
Episode 94 of Opinion Science, Released April 8, 2024. Produced and hosted by Andy Luttrell
