Behavioural economists rarely win the Nobel prize for economics. Richard Thaler, announced today as the newest such laureate, has joined their number. Mr Thaler is perhaps most famous as a pioneer of “nudging”. This is the use of behavioural insights as a public-policy tool, a practice followed by growing numbers of governments. Mr Thaler’s prize recognises not only his achievements but also the discipline’s newfound importance.
