    With the ongoing rollout of smart meters in Ireland, time-of-use (ToU) tariffs are currently being introduced as a new way to pay for electricity. Such tariffs can bring important benefits to both consumers and society, in terms of reduced electricity bills and CO2 emissions, respectively. At the same time, some consumers may find it more difficult to benefit from ToU tariffs than others. Communication around ToU tariffs thus needs to explain both benefits and challenges successfully; it needs to encourage ToU uptake, while enhancing comprehension. This paper presents results from a pre-registered experiment that pre-tested behaviourally-informed communications on ToU tariffs. A large, representative sample of consumers (n=1,300) viewed an experimentally manipulated primer on ToU tariffs before completing a series of tasks to measure their views, objective comprehension, and tariff choices. In general, consumers were positive towards ToU tariffs, viewing monetary savings as a primary benefit. Environmental framing of information enhanced positivity among younger participants. Comprehension and choice quality were rather modest, but improved when tariff examples were presented in a plain table, compared to 24h clock formats. This finding is important as the latter are commonly used in the market. The study demonstrates the benefit of experimentally pre-testing policy interventions.

    We report a multi-stage online experiment (n=1,320) that tested multiple hypotheses regarding the presentation and communication of solutions for people with problem debt. We report four main findings. First, decision trees made it easier for people to locate solutions appropriate to their circumstances. Second, the merits of describing debt solutions using an internal (taking control) versus external (help when overwhelmed) locus of control were unclear, as effects were differential for different population subgroups. Third, debt solutions were better understood when information was structured around the process of engaging with the solution, rather than around the benefits. Fourth, the acceptability of debt solutions was strongly influenced by the emotional content of the relevant language, in keeping with the influence of stigma. These results have implications for improving communications with people seeking solutions to problem debt.

    This paper summarises useful evidence from behavioural science for fighting the COVID-19 outbreak. It is based on an extensive literature search of relevant behavioural interventions and studies of crises. The findings aim to be useful not only to government and public authorities, but to organisations, workplaces and households.
