Choose, rate or squeeze: Comparison of economic value functions elicited by different behavioral tasks
A standard view in neuroeconomics is that to make a choice, an agent first assigns subjective values to available options, and then compares them to select the best. In choice tasks, these cardinal values are typically inferred from the preference expressed by subjects between options presented in pairs. Alternatively, cardinal values can be directly elicited by asking subjects to place a curso...
متن کاملBehavioral economic analysis of cue-elicited craving for alcohol.
AIMS Craving as a motivational determinant of drug use remains controversial because of ambiguous empirical findings. A behavioral economic approach may clarify the nature of craving, theorizing that subjective craving functionally reflects an acute increase in a drug's value. The current study tested this hypothesis via a multidimensional assessment of alcohol demand over the course of an alco...
متن کاملTwo Different Squeeze Transformations
Lorentz boosts are squeeze transformations. While these transformations are similar to those in squeezed states of light, they are fundamentally different from both physical and mathematical points of view. The difference is illustrated in terms of two coupled harmonic oscillators, and in terms of the covariant harmonic oscillator formalism. The word “squeezed state” is relatively new and was d...

Economic Theory: Structural Abstraction or Behavioral Reduction?
In physics, optimization is an organizing principle for natural phenomena. Entropy tends toward its maximum and marbles roll toward minimum potential energy, all without intent or purpose. Injection of this principle into economics initially followed the physicists’ organizing perspective and helped develop the powerful insights of the abstract equilibrium theory. However, humans and their inst...
