MINI-TRACK DESCRIPTION
As humans, we constantly need to make decisions about various aspects of our lives--ranging from relatively minor decisions (such as choices between two candy bars) to decisions with long-term ramifications (such as choices between home financing options). At the same time, we face cognitive limitations, and our decisions are influenced by various heuristics and biases, either for the good or bad. In light of humans' bounded rationality, the field of behavioral economics examines the effects of psychological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors on judgment and decision making of individuals and organizations. As decisions are increasingly made in online environments, understanding economic behavior in digital environments becomes ever more important.
Behavioral economics has reinforced the point that the context matters when making judgments or decisions. Thus, people's decisions are not only influenced by the content of choices but also the presentation of choices. That is, the design of the decision environment can 'nudge' people into certain behaviors. Coined by behavioral economists, 'nudging' describes how even minor changes to the decision environment influence choices, typically unnoticed by the decision maker. As any decision is influenced by the decision environment the presentation will always (intentionally or unintentionally) influence how people actually make their choices.
As decisions are increasingly made online, the concept of 'digital nudging' extends 'nudging' to the digital environment, referring to both the design and effects of nudges in digital decision environments--i.e., the use of user-interface design elements to guide people's behavior on online platforms.
The main purpose of this minitrack is to explore and extend, as well as exchange, research related to behavioral economics and nudging in the context of information systems design and the digital economy. Specifically, this mini-track aims to examine the design, main applications, and effects of digital nudging in information systems design, in particular, research with an emphasis on the effects of interface design on users' behavior, judgment, and decision making in Internet-based systems. We welcome papers that draw on or combine behavioral research methods (e.g., experimentation, survey, case study, action research), and design science approaches.
