Models in Decision‐Making Under Risk and Uncertainty
Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 304-320, February 2026.ABSTRACT This paper systematically compares dominant frameworks for modeling decision‐making under risk and uncertainty, evaluating their theoretical trade‐offs and practical relevance for economic research. We establish key criteria for model selection—including predictive accuracy, descriptive realism, computational tractability, and ecological ...

ON AN EVOLUTIONARY FOUNDATION OF NEUROECONOMICS [PDF]
Economics and Philosophy, 2008 Neuroeconomics focuses on brain imaging studies mapping neural responses to choice behaviour. Economic theory is concerned with choice behaviour but it is silent on neural activities. We present a game theoretic model in which players are endowed with an additional structure – a simple “nervous system” – and interact repeatedly in changing games.

Psychology &Marketing, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 3141-3161, December 2025.ABSTRACT This paper proposes a scale for measuring consumer financial well‐being (CFW), covering its dimensions and consequences. The holistic nature of the scale is a significant improvement on the existing measures of CFW, which cover only a few dimensions, such as debt and financial distress, without focusing on the consequences of CFW.

Modern Transformations of Economics: Neuroeconomics
Theory, Methodology, Practice, 2016 Traditionally, economists have not been interested in the neural underpinnings of human behavior. According to the classical decision-making theory, a decision-maker is a perfectly rational cognitive agent ignoring the influence of emotions.

, 2008 Nobody in this debate questions the point that neuroeconomics remains full of potential, and little else as yet. If so, that really is progress of sorts. I was getting afraid that we would have to open nominations for the Captain Ahab Award for obsessive

Nature CommunicationsSocial learning is well established across species. While recent neuroimaging studies show that dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC/preSMA) activation correlates with observational learning signals, the precise computations that are implemented by DMPFC/

Autonomy Raises Productivity: An Experiment Measuring Neurophysiology
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Employees have been given increasing autonomy to work from home, from virtual offices, and during travel. Understanding why autonomy affects work behaviors has relied to date on self-reported data in which employees may consciously or unconsciously ...

Avoiding Pain to Others Motivates Effortful Prosocial Behavior
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1553, Issue 1, Page 379-390, November 2025.Protecting others from harm is critical for societal well‐being but is often effortful. We examined how individuals choose to exert physical effort to reduce their and another person's pain. Results showed that individuals are similarly motivated to incur effort costs to help themselves and another person. We demonstrated that humans are not inherently
