Seven Points to Remember when Conducting Behavioural Studies in Support of EU Policy-making

Abstract

This policy brief is a follow-up to the JRC Policy Brief "Applying Behavioural Sciences to EU Policy-making", and aims to provide policy-makers with practical guidance for planning and managing a behavioural study . It draws substantially (though not exhaustively or exclusively) on the experience gathered after three years of conducting behavioural studies in support of EU policy. More specifically, it relies on the insights of policy officers and behavioural researchers involved in these studies, as shared at the Good Behavioural Research for EU Policy-making workshop (Seville, May 2014).
