The concept of nudge has been prevalent in studies that explore behavioral changes for better individual decision-making. While nudging has been applied to study public policy, a puzzling under-explored issue in this context is coproduction. In this study, I build on the rich literature on nudging theory and conduct an empirical assessment that compares different strategies intended to increase public willingness to engage in coproduction. In public administration, the concept of coproduction refers to citizens’ willingness to contribute to policies that improve their lives. Therefore, a nudging approach offers multiple benefits in employing strategies that do not compel but can motivate greater citizen participation. My approach focuses on comparing common nudging strategies in two unique coproduction areas: natural hazards resilience and public health, and identifying the most efficient ways to increase citizens’ willingness to contribute to proposed policies. The results suggest that nudging strategies are a useful tool for increasing hazard resilience coproduction, while they backfire for organ donations and reduce the willingness to participate. Also, norm-nudge and loss aversion are more powerful strategies in increasing intention to join compared to a default strategy. Lastly, I provide evidence showing relative consistency between respondents’ stated intention and actual coproduction behavior in both policy areas. These findings provide valuable insights to policymakers in designing effective tools to encourage greater public engagement with policy. It also offers theoretical contributions to research on coproduction and how to more directly integrate behavioral theories into public administration studies and investigate individuals’ attitudes towards participation in policy solutions.

助推的概念在探索行为改变以更好地做出个人决策的研究中很普遍。虽然助推已被应用于研究公共政策，但在这种情况下，一个令人困惑的、尚未探索的问题是联合生产。在这项研究中，我以丰富的助推理论文献为基础，进行了实证评估，比较了旨在提高公众参与合作生产意愿的不同策略。在公共行政中，合作生产的概念是指公民愿意为改善其生活的政策做出贡献。因此，推动方法在采用不强迫但可以激励更多公民参与的策略方面具有多种好处。我的方法侧重于比较两个独特的共同生产领域的常见推动策略：自然灾害恢复力和公共卫生，并确定最有效的方法来提高公民为拟议政策做出贡献的意愿。结果表明，助推策略是提高抗灾能力合作生产的有用工具，但它们会适得其反地促进器官捐赠并降低参与意愿。此外，与默认策略相比，规范助推和损失厌恶是增加加入意愿的更强大策略。最后，我提供的证据表明，受访者在这两个政策领域的陈述意图和实际合作行为之间存在相对一致性。这些发现为政策制定者设计有效工具以鼓励公众更多地参与政策提供了宝贵的见解。 它还为共同生产的研究以及如何更直接地将行为理论融入公共行政研究以及调查个人对参与政策解决方案的态度提供了理论贡献。
