Choice Overload and Simplicity Seeking
In settings such as investing for retirement or choosing a drug plan, individuals face a staggering number of options. In this paper, we analyze how an abundance of options influences which alternative is selected. We present both laboratory experiments and field data that confirm our theoretical prediction: larger choice sets induce a stronger preference for simple, easy-to-understand options....
متن کاملChoice proliferation, simplicity seeking, and asset allocation
In settings such as investing for retirement or choosing a drug plan, individuals typically face a large number of options. In this paper, we analyze how the size of the choice set influences which alternative is selected. We present both laboratory experiments and field data that suggest larger choice sets induce a stronger preference for simple, easy-tounderstand options. The first experiment...
متن کاملDiacylglycerol, when simplicity becomes complex.
Diacylglycerol (DAG) has unique functions as a basic component of membranes, an intermediate in lipid metabolism and a key element in lipid-mediated signaling. In eukaryotes, for example, impaired DAG generation and/or consumption have severe effects on organ development and cell growth associated with diseases such as cancer, diabetes, immune system disorders and Alzheimer's disease. Although ...
متن کاملThe simplicity of planar networks
Shortest paths are not always simple. In planar networks, they can be very different from those with the smallest number of turns--the simplest paths. The statistical comparison of the lengths of the shortest and simplest paths provides a non trivial and non local information about the spatial organization of these graphs. We define the simplicity index as the average ratio of these lengths and...
متن کاملESCHER's Complex Objects: A Demonstration of Simplicity
ESCHER is a visual database editor for the object-relational data model. Here, we describe the essential features of ESCHER and what is demonstrated at this conference with our prototype. Readers are invited to download the public domain software or to follow more detailed write-ups given in the references. 1 VISUAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Most data documents, time tables, CAD drawings, etc. ha...
