Andre, thanks for the mention. The question I asked, prompted by Elizabeth Pisani’s talk at TED was whether the field of public health could benefit by importing principles from the field of behavioral economics to improve analyses and interventions. In a chat after her talk, Pisani said she believes we need to focus on government and train political scientists in order to have better policy.
Thoughts?
–Paul.
