Is nudging really extra-legal? (2016)
Journal Article
Cserne, P. (2016). Is nudging really extra-legal?. Revue Tocqueville / Tocqueville Review, 37(1), 159-180

Some of the scholarly literature on nudges seems to assume, without giving it much further thought, that nudges represent a non-legal or extra-legal form of regulation. Others routinely assume nudges to be legal, i.e. capable of being authorized and... Read More about Is nudging really extra-legal?.
