The Behavioural Economics Guide is an optimal tool to better understand the concepts that can lie behind complex projects that aim to change or have an impact with a policy or intervention towards the economy. It is very well presented with rich references and sources, and it is free for download at its’ website. Yet, there is a clear limitation when it comes to engage with the user, offering very few case studies that count with dynamic graphs and other ways to transmit a pedagogical message in several ways. Nonetheless it remains a very helpful tool, especially for policy makers interested in getting a clear conceptualization of the field and starting to get diverse references before commencing a project or intervention.
