Default Enrollment Effects

Default Enrollment Effects is a behavioral economic phenomenon, belonging to the class of default effects, that specifically refers to the tendency of individuals to adhere to an enrollment option—such as in retirement savings, health insurance, or organ donation programs—when participation is automatically set as the preselected or opt-out choice, thereby distinguishing it by its application to institutional enrollment contexts.
