Other than exhorting decision makers to \u201cdo the right thing,\u201d what can policymakers do to reduce overeating, undersaving, procrastination, and other self-defeating behaviors that feel good now but generate larger delayed costs? In this review, we synthesize contemporary research on approaches to reducing failures of self-control. We distinguish between self-deployed and other-deployed strategies and, in addition, between situational and cognitive intervention targets. Collectively, the evidence from both psychological science and economics recommends psychologically informed policies for reducing failures of self-control.Get full access to this articleView all access and purchase options for this article.Get AccessReferencesAbadie A., Gay S.
