Behavioraleconomics
• Traditional economic theory• Rational individuals• Elegant andsimplemodel that generates reasonable predictions attheaggregate level but less accurate predictions atthe individuallevel
• Behavioraleconomics• Combineselements ofpsychology,sociology,neuroscience andeconomics• Studies how consumers make realchoices,not how they should choose ifthey behaved rationally• Identifiessystematicbehavioralbiasesthatunleashandreproduceunhealthybehaviors• Thesebiasescanbeaddressedwiththeobjectofoptimizingindividualwelfare

Promiseofbehavioraleconomics
• Very cost-effective policies• Smallchanges inthe way choices arepresented or inthe wayinformation is conveyed canleadtolarge changes inbehavior• Tax systems• Retirement savings• Organ donations

Behavioral biasesPreferences,beliefs anddecisions depend on:
•How options areframed
•Attitudes towards uncertainty
•Perceptions about time
•Socialinteractions

Framing andthe disease dilemma
Adisease affects 600people.Two treatment options areoffered A&B• Treatment A:200lives aresaved• Treatment B:1/3probability ofsaving 600vidasand2/3probability ofnotsaving anyone• Which treatment would you choose?
Now consider treatments CandD.• Treatment C:400people diefor sure• TratamientoD:600people diewith probabilidad2/3andnoone dies withprob 1/3• Which treatment would you choose?

UNCERTAINTY
•Traditional economics:only totalwealth matters (integration ofassets)• Individuasl tend toseek insurance for losses that aresmall andpredictable (excessrisk aversion)
•Endowmenteffect(howtoframeincentives)Lossaversion
•Patients rely on experinces ofclose relatives andfriends (“small number”experience)

TIMEPREFERENCES
• Exponential discounting:The rate atwhich the individualis willing toexchange consumption between 2periods is the same regardless ofthedeparture point (decision att=1or att=2)
• Timeconsistency
Traditionaleconomics
• Hyperbolicdiscounting:Individualdiscounts the near future moreheavilythan the far future
• Timeinconsistency• Preferencereversal

Barrier Type of message to address this barrier ExamplePresent bias and timeinconsistency
1) Messages that underscore the benefits ofparenting practices
2) Reminders about the importance ofparenting practices
3) Reminders of personal committmentsregarding parenting practices
Children’s brains are like sponges, they absorb everything: thesounds, the pitches of voices, the language they listen to. Themore words your child listens to at this stage, the more he/shewill develop his/her language. It is therefore very important thatyou speak to your baby, this will impact heavily on his/her abilityto learn.
Complexityofparentalrole,inattention,decisionfatigue
1) Messages that facilitate the execution oftasks by offering concrete suggestions.
2) Messages that highlight relieve stressthrough breathing and relaxationtechniques
Talk to your baby while you are washing him or changing hisdiapers. Look him in the eye when you speak to him. When yourbaby tries to respond, don’t interrupt him and do not getdistracted. Your baby needs to know you are listening.
Negative identity 1) Messages that strengthen parental self-efficacy and empowerement2) Messages that show that feeling stressedout or underconfident is normal, and thatparents do overcome it
There is no one that wants as much for your baby as you do.Think about one or two moments in the past days in which youfelt you really contributed towards his/her wellbeing.Trust yourself and continue seeking more of these momentsduring the week.
Status quo bias 1) Messagess suggesting concrete activities2) Messages reminding benefits of parental
involvement
The more you speak to your baby, the better will his languagedevelop and the more he will learn. Today and in the followingdays, remember and repeat this thought: ”I take advantage of allthe moments with my baby to speak to him.”
