Scientific Numerology, Preference Anomalies, and Environmental Policymaking
Recently an abundance of experimental evidence has been gathered that is consonant with the notion that individual preferences are inconsistent and unstable. These empirical results potentially undermine the theoretical foundation of welfare economics, as the degree of preference lability claimed suggests that perhaps no optimization principles underlie even the most straightforward of choices....
متن کاملNegative anticipatory contrast and preference conditioning: flavor cues support preference conditioning, and environmental cues support contrast.
In 2 experiments, access to a 0.15% saccharin solution was followed on alternating days by access to a 32% sucrose solution and the same saccharin solution. In Experiment 1, rats increased both intake of and preference for a flavored saccharin solution that predicted sucrose, but neither effect was found using a predictive odor cue alone. Experiment 2 replicated the predictive flavor results bu...
متن کاملInfluence of environmental factors on hearing aid microphone preference.
The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of everyday listening situations that influence user preferences for omnidirectional versus directional hearing aid microphones. Eleven experienced hearing aid users were fitted with digital hearing aids featuring switchable omnidirectional (OMNI) and adaptive-directional (DIR) modes (programs). For 6 weeks, their task was to identify an...
متن کاملCold resistance and environmental temperature preference in diarrheic piglets.
Piglets aged 12 to 72 h in which diarrhea had been induced by enteric Escherichia coli infection or sucrose gavage were studied with respect to cold resistance and thermal-circulation index in a 90-min test in a 6 C environment (Exp. 1) and free-choice environmental-temperature preference during a 60-min test in a 24 to 44 C thermocline (Exp. 2). In Exp. 1, diarrhea lowered the piglet's ability...
متن کاملCan Stated Preference Valuations Help Improve Environmental Decision Making?
Decisions about preservation, protection, or development of environmental “commodities” like ground water, atmospheric visibility, open space, wildlife, wetlands, and forests are often made without good information about the value of preservation relative to the cost. Clearly, the economic cost of preservation is often substantial. The cost of preserving wildlife habitat, for example, often tot...
