Rather, an integrative approach—one that marshals legal accountability, technological transparency, and behavioral insight simultaneously—offers the most robust foundation for advancing consumer welfare. The paper concludes by outlining a research agenda for multidisciplinary consumer scholarship and proposing design principles for policy interventions that leverage all three domains.
