Pull requests are a key part of the collaborative software development and code review process today. However, pull can also slow down when reviewer(s) or author do not actively engage with request. In this work, we design an end-to-end service, Nudge, for accelerating overdue toward completion by reminding to their requests. First, use models based on effort estimation machine learning predict...

Abstract We use a business management game to investigate how pesticide tax and green nudge affect crop, tillage decisions for virtual farm. Results from German farmers reveal that both policies can reduce applications. The involves substantial profit loss. Unlike in the scenario, participants under adjust their cropping strategies. compare farmers’ those made by mathematical programming model....

Value Sensitive Design (VSD) is a promising method for addressing ethical issues and opportunities in the design of mobile technologies to promote behavior change. After positioning the work with respect to the PINC strategies (Persuasion, Influence, Nudge, and Coercion), I introduce the VSD method and analyze the role of values inherent to PINC strategies as well as values implicated by the me...

Phishing continues to be a problem for both individuals and organisations, with billions of dollars lost every year. We propose the use of nudges – more specifically social saliency nudges – that aim to highlight important information to the user when evaluating emails. We used Signal Detection Theory to assess the effects of both sender saliency (highlighting important fields from the sender) ...

Savings and Prize-Linked Savings Accounts Many households have insufficient savings to handle moderate and routine consumption shocks. Many of these financially fragile households also have the highest lottery expenditures as a proportion of income. This combination suggests that Prize-Linked Savings (PLS) accounts, that combine principal-security with lottery-type jackpots, can increase saving...
