What's next for behavioural insights in public policy?
You are invited to the 2019 Canada–Australia Public Policy Initiative (CAPPI) lecture featuring Dr. David Gruen, Deputy Secretary, Economic, in the Australian Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Dr. Gruen will speak about how behavioural insights have succeeded in driving better outcomes in Australian public policy and explore their greater potential to reshape our approach to a range of policy frameworks moving forward.
Dr. Gruen oversees the Behavioural Economics Team of the Australian Government (BETA), one of the largest government "nudge units" in the world. Since 2016, BETA has delivered more than 30 major projects on issues covering health, education, financial decision making, energy, cyber security, and more.
