Upon completing this problem, students will:

1. Recognize how the free riding behavior leads to under-provision of public goods and how that can lead to significant societal problems.
2. Understand how changes in choice architecture can be used to 'nudge' people away from free-riding behavior and increase contributions to public goods, such as a nonprofit organization.
3. Identify how properly designed 'nudges' and changes in choice architecture can have a large effect on people's behavior at little or no cost and can benefit society.

Students should be expected to have developed an in-depth knowledge of these topics and be able to explain and respond to these concepts in a written paper. They will then have the opportunity to propose, develop, and analyze creative applications of choice framing to societal problems.
