This Article presents the first comprehensive analysis of the contribution of behavioral science to the legal response to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the descriptive level, the Article shows how different psychological phenomena such as loss aversion and cultural cognition influenced the way policymakers and the public perceived the pandemic, and how such phenomena affected the design of laws and regulations responding to COVID-19. At the normative level, the Article compares nudges (i.e., choice-preserving, behaviorally informed tools that encourage people to behave as desired) and mandates (i.e., obligations backed by sanctions that dictate to people how they must behave). The Article argues that mandates rather than nudges should serve in most cases as the primary legal tool used to regulate behavior during a pandemic. Nonetheless, this Article highlights ways in which nudges can complement mandates.

受偏见感染:行为科学和对 COVID-19 的法律回应

本文首次全面分析了行为科学对法律应对 COVID-19 大流行的贡献。在描述性层面,文章展示了诸如损失厌恶和文化认知等不同的心理现象如何影响决策者和公众对大流行的看法,以及这些现象如何影响应对 COVID-19 的法律法规的设计。在规范层面,文章比较了助推(即,保留选择、鼓励人们按照自己的意愿行事的行为知情工具)和授权(即,由制裁支持的义务,规定人们必须如何行事)。文章认为,在大多数情况下,授权而不是助推应作为在大流行期间用于规范行为的主要法律工具。尽管如此,
