Neuroethology of decision-making [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2012
A neuroethological approach to decision-making considers the effect of evolutionary pressures on neural circuits mediating choice. In this view, decision systems are expected to enhance fitness with respect to the local environment, and particularly efficient solutions to specific problems should be conserved, expanded, and repurposed to solve other ...

A Two-Stage Method to Determine Optimal Product Sampling considering Dynamic Potential Market

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2015
This paper develops an optimization model for the diffusion effects of free samples under dynamic changes in potential market based on the characteristics of independent product and presents a two-stage method to figure out the sampling level. The impact

Decision-Making by Children [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2007
In this paper, we examine the determinants of decision-making power by children and young adolescents. Moving beyond previous economic models that treat children as goods consumed by adults rather than agents, we develop a noncooperative model of parental control of child behavior and child resistance.

Analysis of Product Sampling for New Product Diffusion Incorporating Multiple-Unit Ownership

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
Multiple-unit ownership of nondurable products is an important component of sales in many product categories. Based on the Bass model, this paper develops a new model considering the multiple-unit adoptions as a diffusion process under the influence of ...
