President Champ Orders Behavioral Experiments On American Public
2015-09-16
[Daily Caller] President Obama announced a new executive order on Tuesday which authorizes federal agencies to conduct behavioral experiments on U.S. citizens in order to advance government initiatives.

"A growing body of evidence demonstrates that behavioral science insights -- research findings from fields such as behavioral economics and psychology about how people make decisions and act on them -- can be used to design government policies to better serve the American people," reads the executive order, released on Tuesday.

The new program is the end result of a policy proposal the White House floated in 2013 entitled "Strengthening Federal Capacity for Behavioral Insights."
