 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(由申请人提供)：NBER Roybal Center for Behavior Change in Health and Savings有两个主要问题指导NBER Roybal Center的活动：(1)哪些因素影响家庭的健康和储蓄决策？(2)基于行为经济学机制的哪些干预措施会导致行为变化？我们通过应用和检验经济学、心理学和其他行为科学中的模型来研究这些问题。我们特别感兴趣的是确定具有成本效益和可扩展的干预措施，并显著改变行为。我们采用了广泛的方法，包括田间实验、自然实验、实验室实验和应用理论。NBER Roybal中心强调个人决策，鉴于个人选择在健康和储蓄领域的作用越来越大，这一重点尤其相关。如今，个人本身通过固定缴费养老金计划、个人退休账户、医疗保险交易所和消费者驱动的医疗保健等机构发挥着关键的决策作用。有关保险计划、提供者选择、饮食、锻炼、服药依从性、预防性护理、退休储蓄率、资产配置和退休财富积累的决定都落在个人身上，而不是雇主或政府。NBER罗伊巴尔中心寻找机会，将健康和老龄化经济学研究的基础科学成果转化为实际应用，以改善老年人的健康和经济福祉。我们将在退休储蓄领域开发的成功的行为干预转化为健康领域，反之亦然。最后，NBER Roybal中心提供管理资源，鼓励NBER研究人员网络之间的协作参与。该中心帮助支持和资助NBER更广泛的老龄相关活动，包括关于储蓄、健康、残疾和老年人福祉的其他方面的研究，此外还有会议、工作论文系列、具有21个数据集的数据仓库以及用于研究传播的网站和时事通讯。
