Karen Sussman Horgan is the Co-Founder and CEO of VAL Health, a behavioral economics consulting firm that helps healthcare organizations drive engagement and nudge patients to improve their health and lifestyle choices. Behavioral economics is the science of understanding how patients make irrational choices based on biases, fear, and faulty analysis of outcomes and risk. Nudges can be carrots or sticks, but in healthcare, the focus is on making the right path easier to follow, reducing friction, and introducing positive reinforcements rather than penalties. Karen explains, "We work across the entire healthcare ecosystem. We think about digital health companies, how do you drive enrollment and engagement, and how do you optimize the journey? There are communications for that. We do a lot of work with payers, which is closing gaps in care, but also just improving the member experience in general with providers. It could be around provider adoption of new care pathways, but it's also about population health. We work with employers on wellness programs and pharma on that adherence. So think about where information alone isn't driving people to think about their health or take care of themselves. We create the nudges to help make that happen." "It's the science of understanding that we as humans are irrational. We have a bias toward the present. We have an aversion to loss and regret. We overweight probability. There are dozens of known biases, and what we do is harness them rather than asking people to change their biases. So let me give you a few examples to bring this to light because right now people are probably like, What is a bias? So think about Netflix when you watch an episode. First of all, you have choice overload when you get there. So it's giving you recommendations, but it also defaults you into the next episode because it plays on the fact that we have a status quo bias, and we're lazy, and we're just going to sit there and binge-watch.

We put out some really good information about the health of children and the opportunities. And Elon Musk retweeted it. So as a result of that, we actually got a lot of press. But I wrote back to him and said, ‘I'm glad you like this concept.

We make a countless number of decisions every day – but unfortunately, we often choose unwisely. Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has dedicated his life's work to understanding why that is. In 2017, Thaler received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to the field of behavioral economics. His book, “Nudge,” co-authored by Cass R. Sunstein, shows that it's not possible for choices to be presented to us in a neutral way. The book demonstrates how to best nudge us in the right directions, without restricting our freedom of choice. Richard Thaler is a professor of behavioral science and economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He's a member of the National Academy of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He's been published in many prominent journals, and he's also the author of “Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics.” Originally published in December 2021.

Despite decades of policy ideas, pouring millions of dollars into the problem, and a slow pace of gun control measures, the United States hasn't made much progress on curbing the epidemic of gun violence in our country.For the past 25 years, Prof. Jens Ludwig of the University of Chicago has examined the questions of: Why does gun violence happen, and is there anything we can do about it? In his new book, Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence, Ludwig—who is director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab—discusses why we've been thinking about the gun violence problem in the wrong ways.Drawing upon behavioral economics, he explains that most shootings are not premediated; rather, the result of arguments that escalate into violence. Using data-backed interventions, Ludwig introduces new ideas beyond policy and policing to get at the real root causes of gun violence today.

Elon Musk, whom Trump has assigned to execute this vision, has argued that it is time to get rid of all regulations, or as Musk said, “regulations, basically, should be default gone.”Joining Bethany and Luigi to discuss this intensified commitment to deregulation and laissez-faire capitalism is Sam Peltzman, perhaps the leading living expert on the economics of regulation. Peltzman is the Ralph and Dorothy Keller Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business and director emeritus of the Stigler Center, which sponsors this podcast and is named after his mentor, Nobel-Prize laureate George Stigler. Together, the three of them chart a historical perspective on regulation, from Stigler's ideas of regulatory capture to the unintended consequences of deregulatory efforts over time to today's “chainsaw” approach to gutting federal agencies. To understand the costs and benefits of regulation, they discuss how federal agencies have recently intervened in markets, if the private sector could not have accomplished these interventions more efficiently, and if these interventions did more harm than good. Their case studies include the funding, testing, and rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, the regulation of cryptocurrencies, the management of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and the role of the government in addressing climate change. In the process, they answer the trillion-dollar question: Are Trump's deregulation efforts actually efficient?Episode Notes:Revisit our recent episode with Federico Sturzenegger, the Argentinian Minister for State Transformation and DeregulationRead the op-ed Bethany mentions writing in the wake of the financial crisis: Who Wants a 30-Year Mortgage?At the end of the conversation with Peltzman, Luigi asks him about his recent academic papers tracing marriage and happiness. Read these papers on the Stigler Center's Working Paper archives: The Socio-Political Demography of Happiness (2023) and The Anatomy of Marital Happiness (2025)

Applying the Mere Exposure Effect to remote team integration can significantly improve team dynamics and cohesion. By creating regular and engaging opportunities for team members to interact, such as through virtual challenges, shared digital spaces, skill-sharing sessions, and recurring social events, organizations can leverage the power of familiarity to foster stronger connections. These repeated interactions enhance comfort and rapport among team members, making collaboration more seamless and effective. Embracing the Mere Exposure Effect in remote work settings helps bridge the gap between virtual interactions and personal relationships, ultimately leading to a more integrated, cohesive, and productive remote team.

Applying Communication Theory to remote work can greatly improve the effectiveness of interactions and collaboration within dispersed teams. By implementing clear communication protocols, utilizing video conferencing to capture non-verbal cues, adopting asynchronous tools, regularly reviewing expectations, fostering an inclusive culture, and sharing detailed meeting agendas, organizations can address common challenges and enhance communication clarity. These strategies not only mitigate misunderstandings but also foster a more cohesive and productive remote work environment. Embracing these principles helps ensure that remote teams operate smoothly and achieve their goals efficiently.   Behavioral Economics in Marketing Podcast | Understanding how we as humans make decisions is an important part of marketing.

Addressing hyperbolic discounting is crucial for enhancing productivity in remote teams. By implementing strategies such as setting clear short-term goals, using time-blocking techniques, providing immediate feedback, incentivizing long-term goals, promoting accountability, and utilizing task management tools, teams can effectively counteract the tendency to favor immediate rewards over long-term benefits. These approaches help team members stay focused on their overarching objectives, improve their time management, and ultimately boost overall productivity. Embracing these methods creates a more structured and motivated remote work environment, leading to greater success and achievement of long-term goals.   Behavioral Economics in Marketing Podcast | Understanding how we as humans make decisions is an important part of marketing.

Hyperbolic Discounting is a time-inconsistent model of delay discounting; or the tendency for people to have a stronger preference from immediate rewards over rewards that come later in the future, even when these immediate rewards are smaller. 

The Hawthorne Effect refers to the phenomenon where individuals alter their behavior due to the awareness that they are being observed. This behavioral change can occur in response to any form of attention or monitoring, and it often leads to temporary improvements in performance or productivity. The term originates from the Hawthorne studies conducted at the Western Electric Company's Hawthorne Works in the 1920s and 1930s, which demonstrated that workers' productivity increased when they knew they were part of an experiment, regardless of the experimental conditions.

What comes first: the customer or the employee? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Stephan Meier to explore why putting workers first isn't just good ethics—it's good business. Stephan highlights how engaged, motivated employees directly impact company success. Drawing from his background in behavioral economics, he breaks down four key motivators for workers: purpose (shoot for the moon), autonomy (matter of trust), competence (just right tasks), and relatedness (working together works). Kevin and Stephan also discuss the future of work, both the challenges and opportunities. He offers practical examples of how AI-powered tools can align employee strengths with organizational needs.

Effectively applying the Hawthorne Effect to remote work involves implementing strategies that subtly remind employees of their visibility and the value of their contributions without intruding on their privacy. By adopting practices such as regular check-ins, visible metrics, and recognition systems, organizations can foster an environment where employees are motivated to perform at their best. Embracing these techniques not only enhances productivity and engagement but also helps build a supportive and transparent remote work culture. As remote work continues to evolve, leveraging the principles of the Hawthorne Effect thoughtfully can lead to sustained improvements in performance and overall job satisfaction.   Behavioral Economics in Marketing Podcast | Understanding how we as humans make decisions is an important part of marketing.

They delve deeper into how doctors experience "moral injuries" when forced to make choices that conflict with what they know is best for their patients, often due to systemic rules and pressures. This can result in stress, frustration, and burnout.Professor Ariely explains how uncertainty and lack of control in healthcare—like unclear rules or too many forms—can harm trust and make it harder for everyone to do their best. They also talk about how giving people too many choices, like making parents decide on tough medical treatments, can cause unnecessary stress and regret.They also discussed the need to improve healthcare by prioritizing long-term patient care, reducing unnecessary burdens on doctors, and building systems that foster trust, mental health, and teamwork.BioDan Ariely is an Israeli-American professor and behavioral economist known for exploring irrational decision-making. A traumatic accident in his youth, which left him with severe burns, shaped his interest in human behavior. He earned degrees in philosophy, psychology, and business administration, including a Ph.D. from Duke University, where he is now the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics. Ariely founded the Center for Advanced Hindsight, focusing on topics like money psychology, healthcare decisions, and ethics.He is a best-selling author of books such as Predictably Irrational and The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, which challenge traditional economic theories. Ariely has co-founded companies, including BEworks and Lemonade, applying behavioral insights to practical challenges. His work has garnered numerous accolades, including the Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine. Despite controversies, Ariely remains a leading voice in behavioral science, inspiring research, business innovations, and media projects like NBC's The Irrational. Website:Behavioral science | Behavioral economics | Center for advanced hindsightLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/danariely?trk=contact-infoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danariely?igsh=YzljYTk1ODg3Zg==  Dr. John Schnieder bio:https://www.physiciansguidetodoctoring.com/drschneider Did you know…You can also be a guest on our show ?

Join the Doctor Podcast Network today!—-----In this episode, Professor Dan Ariely is interviewed by Dr John Schneider about the complexities of medicine, bureaucracy, and healthcare experiences. Professor Ariely discusses how rigid bureaucratic systems often disconnect from the core mission of patient care, leading to stress, reduced autonomy, and burnout among physicians. He also spoke about the "scarcity mindset," where limited resources like time and energy force rigid approaches, overwhelming both doctors and patients.He highlighted the importance of trust in healthcare. When physicians feel undervalued, it fosters frustration and burnout. Similarly, patients losing trust in providers may turn to alternative treatments that are less effective or harmful.To improve, Professor Ariely suggests collaboration between administrators and physicians to balance efficiency with compassion. By valuing expertise and fostering trust, healthcare systems can restore patients' confidence and make physicians' work more rewarding. BioDan Ariely is an Israeli-American professor and behavioral economist known for exploring irrational decision-making.

In today's episode, we discuss the science of human decision-making and behavior with Dan Ariely, a world-renowned expert in psychology and behavioral economics. As the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University, Dan has dedicated his career to uncovering the irrational patterns that drive our decisions. He's the author of multiple bestselling books, including Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, where he explores the predictable mistakes we make and how understanding them can lead to better outcomes in life, business, and relationships.  Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dan Ariely as he explores the hidden biases and patterns that influence our decisions, from everyday choices to life-altering moments. Why do we often invest more time deciding on small purchases than major life decisions? How does regret shape our behavior, and why do we favor inaction over action? Dan shares powerful insights into the psychological forces at play in our decision-making, the tension between market and social norms, and how to build habits and environments that support better outcomes.  What to Listen For Introduction – 00:00:00 What is regret, and how does it bias us toward inaction over action? How did Dan's experience in the hospital lead to groundbreaking research on irrational behaviors? Why do people spend more time on medium-sized decisions than life-changing ones like marriage or buying a house? What does Dan's research reveal about indecision and its long-term costs?
