Originally a branch of moral philosophy, economics emerged as an autonomous field of social scientific enquiry little more than 200 years ago. In the wake of the natural sciences’ dramatic success, economists soon embraced a methodology that treated economic phenomena simply as another class of natural phenomena. This methodological stance progressively led to a more and more formal and rigorous analysis, characterised by a growing mathematization of economic models. Since then, economics has not ceased to receive the admiration of other, more recent, social sciences and its methodology has often been considered as an example to imitate by all those who have been impressed by the precision of its formal results. Nevertheless, the history of economics is far from being a collection of triumphs. Indeed, the economic science’s sophisticated formal analysis and its reputation for methodological accuracy often contrasted with poor predictions, explanations and interpretations of real economic events. The systemic crises that periodically shake the world economy cast a dark light on the practical efficacy of the economic science. It appeared as if economics was destined to be a “dismal science” not because of the unwelcome content of its long‐term predictions, as Malthus – one of the founder of modern economics – believed, but because of its incapacity to get things right. Further, these failures offered an easy empirical argument to all those eager to express their dissent against the naturalistic methodology embraced by mainstream economics. While orthodox economists defended their approach by appealing to the yet young state of economic research, it seemed to more heterodox economists that the contrast between theoretical and practical results justified a more serious complaint about the usefulness of the naturalistic approach to economic phenomena. More specifically, it seemed to them that, qua science of human and social behaviour, economics needed a distinctive method of analysis, different from the one employed for studying natural phenomena. These tendencies are still alive nowadays. However, they somehow take different forms and expressions in the light of a new phenomenon, which has characterised the last two decades, namely, the growing exchange between economics and other disciplines (e.g. psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, ethics), which followed years of reciprocal isolation and mutual disinterest. Indeed, this interdisciplinary exchange has drawn renovated attention on some of the contrasting features that have characterised the history of economics. On the one hand, the influence that economics exercises on other research areas has assumed a more pronounced and direct form. The appeal of economics is no longer confined to its methodology, but it derives also from the flexibility of its theories and models, which makes them more and more frequently chosen tools for explaining phenomena pertaining to different domains of research. A clear example of this tendency is the development, in recent years, of various accounts trying to explain, for instance, the evolution of moral norms (e.g. Binmore 2005, Bicchieri 2006, McKenzie 2007) and the behaviour of the human brain (e.g. Platt and Glimcher 1999) by means of the extensive employment of game‐ and decision‐ theoretic resources. III Humana.Mente – Issue 10 – July 2009 On the other hand, the results obtained in research areas outside economics (e.g. social psychology, cognitive science and experimental philosophy) have provided further support to the doubts raised by the predictive failures of the economic science. Indeed, the unprecedented availability of empirical studies concerning human brain and behaviour has put into question the core assumptions on which mainstream economics is based, namely, that individuals are self‐interested agents

    Working Paper Series 2017/06/MKT (Revised version of 2015/01/MKT) Pain of Paying? — A Metaphor Gone Literal: Evidence from Neural and Behavioral Science Nina Mazar University of Toronto, [email protected] Hilke Plassmann INSEAD, [email protected] Corresponding author Nicole Robitaille Queen’s University, [email protected] Axel Lindner Institute for Clinical Brain Research, [email protected] Dec 16, 2016 Do not share or cite without the authors’ permission How do individuals consider the price of a good when making purchase decisions? Standard economic theories assume an analytical process: Individuals consider the opportunity cost. Recent behavioral economic theories suggest an additional, hedonic process: Individuals consider the immediate displeasure or “pain of paying” the price. This paper is the first to present direct empirical evidence that the metaphor is more than a theoretical concept; it stands for a literal pain experience. In addition, the authors characterize its quality as an affective pain experience in three incentive-compatible experiments. First, an fMRI experiment suggests an affective pain experience and rejects a somatosensory (i.e., physical) pain experience. Second, the facilitation of affective pain perception through conceptual priming decreases willingness to pay (WTP). Third, misattributions of pain perception to placebo drugs increases versus decreases WTP for affective pain enhancers versus affective pain relievers. Conversely, facilitation and misattribution of somatosensory pain perceptions do not alter WTP. Keywords: Affective Pain-processing Pathways; Purchasing; Microeconomic Theory; Mental Accounting; Consumer Neuroscience; Pricing Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2901808 Acknowledgements We thank Antonio Rangel for his generous support with experiment 1 and Christof Koch for letting us use his lab’s shock stimulator equipment for experiment 1.

    Proprietà letteraria riservata © 2019 Banca Consulia Prima edizione: Giugno 2019 Coordinamento editoriale: Blandings Copertina di Stefano Cardini L’Autore: Matteo Motterlini, Professore Ordinario di Filosofia della Scienza ed E.ON Professor of Behavior Change all’Università San Raffaele di Milano, dove è Direttore del Centro di Epistemologia sperimentale e applicata. Già Consigliere per le Scienze Sociali e Comportamentali della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri, è attualmente Chief Behavioral Officer del Gruppo Ospedaliero San Donato. Collabora da diversi anni con il Corriere Economia e IlSole24Ore. E’ autore di Economia emotiva, Trappole Mentali e La psicoeconomia di Charlie Brown, per Rizzoli editore e tradotti in varie lingue. 2 Matteo Motterlini IL RITORNO EMOTIVO SUGLI INVESTIMENTI Perché conoscere il cervello fa bene al portafoglio 3 Presentazione EDUCAZIONE FINANZIARIA ED EDUCAZIONE SENTIMENTALE Le scelte quotidiane, comprese le decisioni di investimento, sono influenzate da molteplici fattori - vita privata, contesto sociale, politico ed economico - che impattano sulla nostra ricerca di sicurezza e di benessere. In questo libro Matteo Motterlini spiega, alla luce delle affascinanti ricerche sul funzionamento del nostro cervello, cosa succede quando prendiamo decisioni finanziarie. La finanza comportamentale mostra che per comprendere i meccanismi dei mercati non basta possedere conoscenze tecniche, ma occorre essere consapevoli dell’influenza delle emozioni sui comportamenti dei risparmiatori e gestori. L’unico modo per evitare queste “trappole mentali” è sapere quali sono, e in quali circostanze ne siamo più esposti. Credo fermamente nella positività delle persone, nel “bicchiere mezzo pieno”. E credo fortemente nel ruolo del Consulente Finanziario che si dedica alle dinamiche decisionali del cliente piuttosto che all’enfasi sul prodotto.

  • Research Design & Qualitative Methods
    Duke University Political Science 330 Research Design & Qualitative Methods Spring 2010 Tuesdays, 4:25 - 6:55, Trent Hall, Room 038A course website at: http://courses.duke.edu Prof. Tim Büthe Dept. of Political Science 303 Perkins Library (919) 660-4365 (office); (919) 493-0304 (home); [email protected] office hours: Wednesdays 1:00 - 2:30pm Objectives PS330 is a course in methods in the broadest sense. The first part of the course deals with fundamental issues that are essential for almost all social science research: concepts and measurement, ontology and epistemology, causation and inference. The second part of the course deals with issues of research design, focusing on problems of case selection in non-statistical research, and specific methodological tools and techniques for empirical research. I allow for some flexibility in the topics covered in the second part to meet students' specific needs, but I intend to cover archival research and the critical use of sources, field research, qualitative interviewing, surveys and questionnaire design, as well as content and discourse analysis. The purpose of the course is to learn specific new skills—possibly for your own use in empirical work you might do. The course should put you in a stronger position to constructively critique published research (and work in progress) from a methodological point of view. This is an important skill both for work that employs the specific techniques that we discuss in this course and for work that "only" uses data generated through such techniques—often without awareness of the implications. The course also aims to make you more aware of your own and others' epistemological assumptions, assumptions about causality, and standards for judging empirical research in political science, as well as allow you to design better research projects yourself.

More than a decade and a half of constant, stimulating, discussions with John McCall on Kolmogorov – algorithmic –complexity and theories of probability have been a source of great pleasure and consistent intellectual adventures. Not being particularly competent in the actual program- ming of theoretically structured computing models, I have had to rely on Stefano Zambelli for instruction and advice on the felicitous link between theory and application that is the hall mark of computational complexity theory. More recently, I have had the pleasure and privilege of being able to pick Chico Doria’s fertile brain for exotic ideas about the P =?NP question.

  • Prospect Theory, Neuroeconomics and Political Choice Decision Making Theories for International Politics
    Department of Political Science, Major in Politics, Philosophy and economics Chair of Behavioral psychology and economics Prospect Theory, Neuroeconomics and Political Choice decision making theories for international politics Supervisor: Candidate: Massimo Egidi Myrlande Nardi 074372 Academic Year: 2015/16 1 To mom and dad, without whom I would never have reached this point. 2 Abstract The need of understanding the mechanism which bring us to take determined decisions has always been pronounced. Since the 17th century scholars have observed and analyzed the processes through which we make choices. Until 1979 the most popular theory in this area was Expected Utility Theory, then Kahnemann and Tversky conceived what has become known as Prospect Theory. The theory, which was developed to be an alternative to Expected Utility Theory, is based on the concepts of framing and risk aversion. Moreover, it was influenced by psychology and the new discoveries in neuroscience, such as the effects that emotions have on the decision making processes. As these discoveries became more significant, a new area of study developed which came to be known as neuroeconomics as it was born thanks to the convergence between various areas of study namely economics, psychology and neuroscience. Furthermore, even though Prospect Theory presents determined limitations, it was applied to various cases of international politics. Among these one of the most interesting is surely the Iran Hostage Crisis. The theory seems to be capable of explaining the irrational decision that were taken by the various actors in this context. 3 Index Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………..5 Chapter 1: Prospect Theory……………………………………………………………………...7 I.

  • ENGLISH Programme 27May
    + SIXTH EDITION THE BORDERS OF ECONOMIC FREEDOM TRENTO 26 May NAPLES 28 May TRENTO/ROVERETO 2-5 June 2011 1 2 AUTONOMOUS PROVINCE OF TRENTO The sixth edition of the Festival of Economics marks another step forward for Trentino, which responded to the crisis by strengthening the traditional activities that continue to make it a competitive and strategic territory. The anti-crisis package adopted by the Autonomous Province contains several strong points recognized as innovative both within Italy and abroad. On the social policy front, we have introduced an income safety-net programme to combat processes of impoverishment and urban decay, while our pro-business investment strategy is designed to support and promote the utilization of human resources and new technology for relaunching competitiveness across the province. One issue that is particularly close to our heart is knowledge; indeed, it should surprise no-one that the Autonomy Statute makes provision for a new provincial law on universities. In our vision for the future, even more than it already is today, Trentino will be a European region of knowledge, which aspires to achieve a virtuous equilibrium between the various engines on which the region’s development depends: research, training, universities, businesses, politics and institutions. Only if these engines work at full speed can this “systemic architecture” be built and strengthened to enable it to fulfil its enormous potential. Once again, it is the dual global and local track that helps us to think in terms of development and international openness. Indeed, only in a perspective that values local specificities while simultaneously aiming to attract high-quality investors from the rest of the world, can Trentino successfully navigate the choppy waters of globalization.
