Table 3. Examples on how behavioural science can be used to develop effective interventions to stimulate desired behaviour.

	COVID-19 crisis	Global Financial Crisis	Climate crisis
problem desired behaviour	virus transmission physical distancing	housing bubble reduce risk taking	greenhouse gas emission increase vegetarian diets
direct measurement	physical distances between people measured using UWB	propensity to sell assets	number of vegetarian dishes sold
intervention	psychological mechanism: reward [28] pedestrian behaviour: follow signage [29] practical: adjust shopping cart regulations	psychological mechanism: salience [40], disposition effect [16]	psychological mechanism: salience [40] practical: visibility
experimental design and analysis	see current paper	see Frydman & Rangel (2014) [41]	see Kurz (2018) [42]
policy recommendation	reward people for keeping their distance	decrease salience of information related to capital gains	increase salience of vegetarian dishes
