Relative reinforcing efficacy of alcohol among college student drinkers.
The construct of relative reinforcing efficacy (RRE) is central to many laboratory and theoretical models of drug abuse, but it has not been widely measured in applied clinical research contexts. The authors used a simulated alcohol purchase task to measure RRE in a sample of 267 college student drinkers. Participants reported their alcohol consumption across a range of prices, and their respon...
متن کاملAnalytical Problems and Suggestions in the Analysis of Behavioral Economic Demand Curves.
Behavioral economic demand curves (Hursh, Raslear, Shurtleff, Bauman, & Simmons, 1988) are innovative approaches to characterize the relationships between consumption of a substance and its price. In this article, we investigate common analytical issues in the use of behavioral economic demand curves, which can cause inconsistent interpretations of demand curves, and then we provide methodologi...
متن کاملFrom demand curves to public policy: introduction to the special issue on behavioral economics.
The papers comprising this issue were first presented as part of a meeting sponsored by the Science Board of the Association for Behavior Analysis, International, in Chicago, 2011. The conference, entitled “Behavioral Economics: From Demand Curves to Public Policy,” was so named to capture a breadth of topics covered by the papers at the meeting, and well represented in the present issue. The c...
متن کاملSplice Strength of High Relative Rib Area Reinforcing Bars
The reinforcing bar deformation patterns currently used in the U.S. were established over 45 years ago. In the interim, material properties and design procedures have changed, resulting in more congested reinforcement, the use of higher strength materials, and the application of coatings to provide corrosion protection. Based on an improved understanding of the interaction between reinforcing s...
متن کاملRelative demand shifts and unemployment
Everywhere in the OECD, there has been a shift in relative labor demand away from low-skill workers towards high-skill workers. In the United States, this has led to a decrease in the relative wage of low-skill workers. In Europe, constraints on the relative wage of low-skill workers have led instead to an increase in their unemployment rate, and thus an overall increase in unemployment. As Kru...
