No evidence for nudging after adjusting for publication bias
Research-assisted source review
- What it supports
- Across the bias-adjusted approaches, the evidence did not support a non-zero average nudge effect in the published literature.
- Where it may not transfer
- Publication-bias corrections depend on modelling assumptions and concern the pooled literature, not every individual intervention. The analysis does not establish that a carefully specified nudge in a particular context has no effect.
