Endogenizing Prospect Theory’s Reference Point
In previous models of (cumulative) prospect theory reference-dependence of preferences is imposed beforehand and the location of the reference point is exogenously determined. This note provides a foundation of prospect theory, where reference-dependence is derived from preference conditions and a unique reference point arises endogenously. Endogenizing Prospect Theory’s Reference Point

How the brain integrates costs and benefits during decision making Introduction When we make decisions, the benefits of an option often need to be weighed against accompanying costs. Little is known, however, about the neural systems underlying such cost–benefit computations. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging and choice modeling, we show that decision making based on ...

The level of conformity is striking, a fact blurred by vivid memory for occasional lapses. Politeness is ubiquitous, and it’s practiced automatically. Communities encourage it, and the rules are a ...
