Smart Regulator Prof. J. Ponce (Barcelona) has just published (in the Acts of the 9th congress of the Spanish association of professors of administrative law) a full-length study entitled "Nudging, administrative simplification and good regulatory governance: the 21st century administrative law and its relations with social sciences." (caution: pdf file 3.7Mb).
Prof. Ponce investigates how the new social sciences tools can help administrative law, including the use of discretionary powers by public authorities, be more efficient in this century. New insights from behavioural sciences into motivations that move the citizen must be factored into a modernised approach to designing and implementing regulation. Nudging is one of these new promising techniques, to be deployed alongside RIA and consultation.
