Preference Formation

چکیده
■ Abstract This review concerns political preferences—what they are and where they come from. We begin by documenting the close relationship between processes of preference formation and change. Rather than suddenly appearing, most preferences emerge from interactions between individuals and their environment. This aspect of preference formation poses a concrete challenge: to uncover the mechanics of these interactions in important social contexts. We then describe political science research that meets this challenge. We find an expansive literature that clarifies how phenomena such as parties, campaigns, and the need to act strategically affect preferences. This work provides many widely applicable insights.

Habit Formation and Preference Change with Capital and Renewable Resources
Background: Although there are many formal models about interactions among habit formation, preference change and the economic growth, only a few formal models examine implications of habit formation and preference change for the economic growth with resources. Objectives: This paper builds an economic growth model with endogenous physical capital, renewable resources, habit formation and prefe...
متن کاملCoalition Formation Problem: New Multi-Agent Methods with Preference Models
Current multi-agent coalition formation methods present two major problems. First, some of these methods can be applied only to cooperative multi-agent systems; second, the algorithms proposed may fail in the formation of the coalitions. This article proposes two methods for problems of agent coalition formation in cooperative and noncooperative multi-agent systems. These methods are based on a...
متن کامل5-HT2A Serotonin Receptor Density in Adult Male Rats’ Hippocampus after Morphine-based Conditioned Place Preference
Introduction: A close interaction exists between the brain opioid and serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmitter systems. Brain neurotransmitter 5-HT plays an important role in the regulation of reward-related processing. However, a few studies have investigated the potential role of 5-HT2A receptors in this behavior. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the influence of...
متن کاملPatterns of Goal-Contingency Learning in Preference Formation
The study investigates learning patterns during goal-directed preference formation. A longitudinal experiment examines formation of attribute importance judgments in the context of contingency relations between a stable consumer goal and alternative product attributes. The results suggest the learning curve in consumers’ attribute importance judgments can be analyzed using nested models to reve...
متن کاملOn the Axiomatization of the Satiation and Habit Formation Utility Models
We propose a preference condition called shifted difference independence to model the reference point dependent measurable time preference. Based on this condition, we axiomatize a general habit formation and satiation model (GHS) to capture both effects of habit formation and satiation. This model allows for a general habit formation function and satiation function that contain the functional ...
متن کاملImproving the Grenade Explosion Method in Solving the Dynamic Cell Formation Problem
Cell formation is the first and most important problem in designing cellular manufacturing systems. We have modeled the dynamic cell formation problem with respect to the minimization of the intercellular movement and cellular reconfiguration costs. Due to the nonpolynomiality of the cell formation models, a newly introduced metaheuristic namely the grenade explosion method (GEM) is applied t...
