 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): NBER Roybal Center for Behavior Change in Health and Savings Two overarching questions guide the activities of the NBER Roybal Center: (1) What factors influence households' health and savings decisions? (2) Which interventions based on mechanisms in behavioral economics generate behavior change? We study these questions by applying and testing models in economics, psychology, and other behavioral sciences. We are particularly interested in identifying interventions that are cost-effective and scalable and that significantly change behavior. We use a wide range of methods, including field experiments, natural experiments, laboratory experiments, and applied theory. The NBER Roybal Center emphasizes individual decision-making, a focus that is particularly relevant in light of the growing role of individual choice in the health and savings domains. Today individuals themselves play a key decision-making role through institutions like defined contribution pension plans, IRAs, health insurance exchanges, and consumer-driven health care. Decisions about insurance plans, provider choice, diet, exercise, medication adherence, preventive care, retirement savings rates, asset allocation, and retirement wealth decumulation fall on the individual and not on employers or governments. The NBER Roybal Center seeks out opportunities for translating basic science results from research in the economics of health and aging into practical applications that improve health and economic well-being at older ages. We translate successful behavioral interventions developed in the domain of retirement savings to the domain of health and, vice versa. Finally, the NBER Roybal Center provides administrative resources that encourage collaborative engagement among a network of NBER researchers. The Center helps to support and fund the broader aging related activities at the NBER, including research on savings, health, disability, and other aspects of well-being at older ages in addition to conferences, a working paper series, a data warehouse with 21 datasets, and a website and newsletters for research dissemination.

 描述（由适用提供）：NBER皇家健康和储蓄中的行为改变中心两个总体问题指导NBER皇家中心的活动：（1）哪些因素影响家庭的健康和储蓄决定？ （2）哪些基于行为经济学机制的干预措施会产生行为变化？我们通过在经济学，心理学和其他行为科学中应用和测试模型来研究这些问题。我们特别有兴趣确定具有成本效益和可扩展性并显着改变行为的干预措施。我们使用多种方法，包括现场实验，自然实验，实验室实验和应用理论。 NBER皇家中心强调个人决策，鉴于个人选择在健康和储蓄领域中的作用日益增加，这一重点特别重要。如今，个人自己通过诸如定义的缴款计划，IRA，健康保险交流和消费者驱动的医疗保健等机构扮演关键的决策角色。有关保险计划，提供者选择，饮食，运动，药物遵守，预防保健，退休储蓄率，资产分配和退休财富决定的决定落在个人而不是雇员或政府上。 NBER皇家中心为将健康和衰老经济学研究的基础科学研究结果转化为改善老年健康和经济福祉的实用应用。我们将在退休储蓄领域开发的成功行为干预措施转化为健康领域，反之亦然。最后，NBER皇家中心提供了行政资源，以鼓励NBER研究人员网络之间的合作参与。该中心有助于支持和资助NBER的广播公司与老化有关的活动，包括关于储蓄，健康，残疾和其他年龄段的幸福感的研究，除了会议，工作文件系列，具有21个数据集的数据仓库以及一个网站和新闻通讯，以及用于研究传播的新闻通讯。
