The Impact of Incentives on Human Behavior

This chapter explores various real-life examples of how incentives shape human behavior, from tax exemptions for multiple children in Hungary to incentives in college bowl games and welfare programs in New York City. It delves into how incentives affect behaviors in settings like legal cases, ridesharing, and business environments, discussing the importance of aligning incentives to drive desired outcomes. The chapter also examines instances where incentives have unintended consequences, such as a failed pollution reduction incentive in Athens, Greece, and the negative impact of monetary incentives for COVID-19 vaccinations in some states.
