Nudge plus, a modified behavioural change instrument in the toolkit of the public policymaker, embeds reflective strategies in a classic nudge to make it more transparent while improving its efficacy and preserving the autonomy and agency of the decision maker. The idea of nudge plus was first proposed by Peter John and colleagues. Through his research, Sanchayan puts forward the psychological and microeconomic foundations of nudge plus and undertakes experimental tests to validate its effectiveness in sustainably altering dietary patterns amongst citizens in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisors: Prof. Susana Mourato (G&amp;E, LSE), Prof. Peter John (Dept. of Political Economy, KCL) and Dr. Matteo Galizzi (PBS, LSE)<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p>Master&rsquo;s in Environmental Economics and Climate Change (2017-18), London School of Economics: Dissertation on evaluating the effectiveness of information and commitment in lowering meat consumption using evidence from a natural field-experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Bachelor of Arts in Economics(2014-17), Jadavpur University, India: Project work on the Social Cost Analysis of the delay in the construction of Kolkata Metro Extension Corridors using the UNIDO approach.
