Challenging standard economic models, this book shows how farmers tend to use cognitive shortcuts in their decision-making and how their professional pride frequently outweighs profit considerations. This indicates that environmental regulation based on economic incentives may not be as effective as economic theorists and ex ante policy analysts maintain. Rather than assuming that regulations respond to incentive-based policies, this book examines the ways in which they do. Bounded rationality in decision-making has typically been studied in a laboratory setting, but this book uses original empirical research to demonstrate how bounded rationality plays out in the real world, examining the responses of Danish farmers to fertiliser regulation and their decision-making processes. The book will be of interest to a broad range of scholars within the fields of public policy, public administration, political science, behavioural economics and sociology.

Denne bog er blevet til p grundlag af historier fortalt af borgere i Randers Kommune. De har rligt og modigt berettet om deres m de med nogle af Randers Kommunes offentlige instanser i forbindelse med, at de har modtaget offentlig st tte, v ret i aktivering eller v ret i udredning af et sygdomsforl b. Bogen synligg rer, hvor stort og alvorligt et problem det er for mange p overf rselsindkomster, at de f ler sig nedv rdiget, stigmatiseret og usynliggjort i m det med kommunen/jobcentret. De oplever ikke, at de har rettigheder, der helst gerne skulle beskytte dem mod overgreb. N r personer eller systemer beg r overgreb p borgerne, s afpersonaliserer de dem, dvs. de tingsligg rer dem. Borgerne bliver nu behandlet som ting, der ikke har anden v rdi end den, de bliver tillagt. Landsforeningen Lediges Vilk r, som st r bag denne bog, f r j vnligt henvendelser fra folk, som dagligt st r med disse problemstillinger. Der er for lidt oplysning om, hvordan dette p virker mennesker. S derfor denne bog
