Loss Aversion Motivates Tax Sheltering: Evidence From U.S. Tax Returns
This paper presents evidence that loss aversion affects taxpayers as they file their annual tax returns. I model the decisions of a loss-averse tax filer who may use tax shelters to manipulate the “balance due” exchanged with the IRS.

The increased requirements induced large increases in both the completed math cou...

متن کاملOnline Robot Task Switching Under Diminishing Returns
We investigate the task switching problem of a robot maximizing its long-term average rate of return on work performed. We propose an online method to maximize the average gain rate based on only past experience. For that we alter the formulation from optimal foraging theory and recursively include estimates of global task qualities. We demonstrate and analyze our method on a puck-foraging exam...
