Economic Behaviour, Game Theory and Business Models

1. Critically appraise the existing policies implemented to reduce the prevalence of smoking in society. Link these policies to the economic theory 
2. Using academic literature and examples from real-world interventions, outline how nudges may be used to further reduce the instance of smoking in society.
3.  
4. Evaluate the current approaches to environmental damage mitigation and the underlying theory which supports these policies.
5. Using academic literature and examples from real-world interventions, outline how nudges may be used to improve compliance with policies and reductions in negative environmental impact.

Question 1 - Guidance

1. You should aim to provide a detailed critical analysis of the current policies and initiatives used to reduce smoking in society. These policies should be linked to the theory which underpins them.

Your writing should be supported with real-world examples, including any data and evidence to demonstrate the impact of the existing approaches upon smoking in society.

2. You should then apply your learning from this module and your wider reading to identify relevant nudges that can be used to further reduce the incidence of smoking in society.

Again looking for examples of these nudges being applied in the real world. Or were appropriate present proofs from research, empirical data and experimental evidence to help you build your arguments for the use of nudges in policies and initiatives.

Question 2 – Guidance

1. You should aim to provide a detailed critical analysis of the current policies and initiatives used to reduce the environmental damage caused by individuals and companies. These policies should be linked to the theory which underpins them.

Your writing should be supported with real-world examples, including any data and evidence to demonstrate the impact of the existing approaches upon environmental damage.

2. You should then apply your learning from this module and your wider reading to identify relevant nudges that can be used to further improve environmental protection policy and the behaviour of individuals and companies.

Again looking for examples of these nudges being applied in the real world. Or were appropriate present proofs from research, empirical data and experimental evidence to help you build your arguments for the use of nudges in policies and initiatives.
