The document discusses several biases that previous research has failed to account for, which generally overstate the impact of saving incentives on personal saving. It identifies 5 specific biases: 1) Saving behavior varies across households; 2) Saving is a net concept when factoring in borrowing; 3) Financial markets and pensions have changed since 1980s expansions; 4) Tax treatment of saving incentives differs from other accounts; 5) Incentives as compensation can have different effects. The conclusion is that while incentives impact saving allocation and wealth, there is little effect on overall saving levels.

Selling Blue Elephants
Selling Blue Elephants is about a single concept, the process of Rule Developing Experimentation, or RDE. The text divides the concept into several sections that examine real-life scenarios, the applications of RDE on product development and graphic design, and the use of the process in areas like technology and politics.
Despite these varying topics, the chapters follow a similar structure. Each uses specific examples, then goes into greater detail. The chapters are split frequently into headings, including frequent sides into the history or technology behind a certain topic. The text also uses a variety of charts to show the results of RDE tests. Readers should be aware that the book deals with an experimentation process; much of the information is data on test results. The charts and alternative explanations are designed to make the process easier to understand.
As the text continues, it begins to deal with more abstract concepts, such as the political use of RDE to analyze public concerns, and the use of RDE to study emerging nations and the stock market. The text ends with a brief epilogue and an index for the variety of terms used and businesses discussed.
