LOGIC: Good Practice Principles for Mainstreaming Behavioural Public Policy
This report outlines good practice principles intended to encourage the incorporation of behavioural perspectives as part of standard policymaking practice in government and governmental organisations. Evidence from the behavioural sciences is potentially transformative in many areas of government policy and administration. The 14 good practice principles, organised into five dimensions, present a guide to the consistent production and application of useful behavioural science evidence. Governments and governmental organisations looking to mainstream behavioural public policy may use the good practice principles and case studies included in this report to assess their current policy systems and develop strategies to further improve them.
Conclusion and next steps
Governments have, to different degrees and in different ways, expanded their use of behavioural science evidence over the last decade, enabling policies to be developed, tested, and selected with a more nuanced understanding of the people involved in achieving change. The principles in this report are based on the practices that policy makers and behavioural science experts have found to be effective over that time. The OECD will continue to participate in the global conversation about how and where behavioural science can help governments tackle complex policy challenges.
