Water Holding Policies: The Auspices of Behavioral Insights in Public Policy Design and Implementation in South Korea and other OECD Countries

Overson Musopero

Abstract: Behavioral insights aim at improving the welfare of citizens and consumers through comprehensive public policies and relevant regulations that are designed and implemented based on empirically-tested results derived using sound experimental methodologies. They mix some traditional economic strategies with insights from psychology, cognitive sciences and social sciences to discover irrational factors that influence decision making processes. This paper sought to explore and compare the successful designing and implementation of public policies in South Korea and other member states of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) under the auspices of the behavioral insights. The paper focused on five cases which include Education Sector, Energy Sector, Environment Sector, Health Sector and Public Service Delivery Sector.

Keywords: Water holding policies, auspices, behavioral insights, public policies, design and implementation, OECD countries.
