    Incidentes viales en Medellín : una propuesta para su reducción desde la economía conductual
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Algarra Alzate, Melissa; Wachter Espitia, Johann Eduardo; Silva Jaramillo, Santiago
    This investigation aims to propose a public action as an instrument based on 'nudges' as an alternative that contributes to mitigating the public problem of injuries and deaths due to road incidents on Avenue 64C (North highway, Medellín). A proposed semantic change is that it considers injuries and deaths on the road as incidents, and not as accidents since the former are understood as a public health problem and are not generated accidentally, but their causes correspond to human errors, failures in road infrastructure, speeding, etc. Given the above, a review of literature and case study was carried out to determine connections between the behavioral sciences, public policy and road safety. Finally, a series of recommendations are presented for the public interventions specifically in Avenue 64 C (North highway, Medellín), and some conclusions of set research.
