Naiveté, Projection Bias, and Habit Formation in Gym Attendance
We develop a model capturing habit-formation, projection-bias, and presentbias in an intertemporal-choice setting, and conduct a field experiment to identify its main parameters. Building on the Charness and Gneezy (2009) paradigm, we incentivize subjects to attend the gym for a month, observe their preand post-treatment attendance relative to a control group, and elicit their preand post-treat...
متن کاملHabit Formation, Naiveté, and Projection Bias in Gym Attendance∗
We develop a model that parsimoniously captures habit formation, projection bias, and present bias in an intertemporal-choice setting, and conduct a field experiment to calibrate the parameters of the model. Building on the gym-attendance study of Charness and Gneezy (2009), we incentivize subjects to attend the gym for a month, observe preand post-treatment attendance relative to a control gro...
متن کاملHabit Formation and Naiveté in Gym Attendance: Evidence from a Field Experiment∗
We extend the gym-attendance study of Charness and Gneezy (2009) by incentivizing subjects to attend the gym for a month, observing their preand post-treatment attendance relative to a control group, and eliciting subjects’ preand post-treatment predictions of their post-treatment attendance. We find a habit formation effect similar to that of Charness and Gneezy in the shortrun, but with subst...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Habit formation
Habits, both good ones and bad ones, are pervasive in animal behavior. Important frameworks have been developed to understand habits through psychological and neurobiological studies. This work has given us a rich understanding of brain networks that promote habits, and has also helped us to understand what constitutes a habitual behavior as opposed to a behavior that is more flexible and prosp...
