We analyze a model of market competition in which two identical firms choose prices as well as how to present, or “frame”, their products. A consumer is randomly assigned to one firm, and whether he makes a price comparison with the other firm is a probabilistic function of the firms’ framing strategies. We analyze Nash equilibria in this model. In particular, we show how the answers to the fol...

Recently, Krupenye, Rosati & Hare (KRH henceforth) reported that bonobos and chimpanzees show 'human-like framing effects' in a food choice task [1]. Chimpanzees and bonobos could choose between a 'framed' option of fruit and an alternative option of peanuts (matched in expected value ...

However, social epidemiological perspectives also stress relevance an individual’s network underline that three levels (individual, network, society) interact. Given media portrayals can affect public perceptions, attitudes, ...

An influential notion holds that the perceived risk associated with the recommended behaviour determines the relative persuasiveness of gain- and loss-framed messages. This 'risk-framing hypothe...
