A Systematic Scoping Review of the Choice Architecture Movement: Toward Understanding When and Why Nudges Work
TL;DR: This paper provided a domain-general scoping review of the nudge movement by reviewing 422 choice architecture interventions in 156 empirical studies and found that 74% of these studies were mainly motivated to assess the effectiveness of the interventions in one specific setting, while only 24% of the studies focused on the exploration of moderators or underlying processes.

Ratings and rankings: voodoo or science?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measure the importance of a given variable within existing composite indicators via Karl Pearson's "correlation ratio"; they call this measure the main effect, and they discuss to what extent the mapping from nominal weights to main effects can be inverted.
A Review and Taxonomy of Choice Architecture Techniques
TL;DR: A taxonomy of choice architecture techniques that focus on intervention design, as opposed to the underlying cognitive processes that make an intervention work is presented, arguing that this distinction will facilitate further empirical testing and will assist practitioners in designing interventions.
