Comparing gains and losses.
Loss aversion in choice is commonly assumed to arise from the anticipation that losses have a greater effect on feelings than gains, but evidence for this assumption in research on judged feelings is mixed. We argue that loss aversion is present in judged feelings when people compare gains and losses and assess them on a common scale. But many situations in which people judge and express their ...
متن کاملDopaminergic correlates of unexpected gains or losses in reward value
Successive negative and positive contrast occurs when the incentive value of a rewarding stimulus is devalued or increased unexpectedly and has been observed in many species ranging from bumble bee to man [1]. In two separate studies, we employed brain dialysis to monitor changes in dopamine (DA) efflux in the Nucleus Accumbens (NAc) of the rat during both negative and positive contrast as evid...
متن کاملHarvesting capital gains and losses
Monte Carlo simulations are used to demonstrate that a very attractive tax-based trading strategy is to realize all capital losses, using excess losses to offset realized gains to rebalance the portfolio. This strategy increases the mean and median return by taking advantage of the tax-deductibility of losses, and mitigates risk by allowing low-cost portfolio rebalancing. This portfolio rebalan...

متن کاملNeural correlates of adaptive decision making for risky gains and losses.
Do decisions about potential gains and potential losses require different neural structures for advantageous choices? In a lesion study, we used a new measure of adaptive decision making under risk to examine whether damage to neural structures subserving emotion affects an individual's ability to make adaptive decisions differentially for gains and losses. We found that individuals with lesion...
