Physioeconomics (or physio-economics) is an extension of experimental economics research that collects physiological parameters in addition to recording behavior. These measures can include skin conductance, blood pressure and the pulse of the subject. Experiments typically present subjects with economic decisions in a game–like context.
Scarcity affects the functioning of the brain at both a conscious and subconscious level, and has a large impact on the way one behaves. The authors suggest that scarcity has a tendency to push us into a state of tunneling : a focus primarily on the scarcity of a resource, and a resulting neglect of everything else “outside” the tunnel.
Behavioral economics and public policy is a field that investigates how the discipline of behavioral economics can be used to enhance the formation, implementation and evaluation of public policy. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Using behavioral insights, it explores how to make policies more effective, efficient and humane by considering real-world human behavior ...
Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics is a book by Richard Thaler, economist and professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. [1] He won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2017.
He also recommends having both feet on the ground and yours eyes closed during the reading. Regarding ideal numbers, the famous M.D. says: "Your blood pressure is supposed to be under 140 over 90 ...
Max Hal Bazerman (born August 14, 1955) is an author and researcher whose work focuses on negotiation, behavioral economics, and ethics. In his most recent book, Better, Not Perfect , Bazerman provides insight into how individuals can make better decisions for themselves and for the world. [ 1 ]
The book showed how operationally meaningful theorems can be described with a small number of analogous methods, thus providing "a general theory of economic theories." It moved mathematics out of the appendices (as in John R. Hicks's Value and Capital ) and helped change how standard economic analysis across subjects could be done with the ...
When blood pressure falls many physiological cascades commence in order to return the blood pressure to a more appropriate level. The blood pressure fall is detected by a decrease in blood flow and thus a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Decrease in GFR is sensed as a decrease in Na + levels by the macula densa.
