The Behavioral Public Administration Lab (BPA Lab) conducts behavioral science to generate, share, and apply insights about human behavior to improve governance, policy, and management in the public sector.
We focus on three domains:
1: Evidence-informed decision-making: Behavioral insights to improve how political and managerial decision-makers allocate attention and make use evidence for organizational learning.
2: Encounters between residents and the state: Behavioral insights to enhance residents' opportunities, experiences, and outcomes in policy implementation and public service delivery.
3: Composition of the public workforce: Behavioral insights to attract and retain the human capital required for a responsive and effective functioning of the public sector.
