A model of reference-dependent belief updating
Maier, Johannes K.; König, Clemens - 2016
We propose a model of instrumental belief choice under loss aversion. When new information arrives, an agent is prompted to abandon her prior. However, potential posteriors may induce her to take actions that generate a lower utility in some states than actions induced by her prior. These losses...

Newcomb's Paradox and Neuroeconomics : Proposal of an Experimental Investigation
Stronka, Waldemar - 2007
In this paper we propose a version of a game-theoretic problem known as the Newcomb's Paradox. The version offers possibilities for an experimental investigation. Such experiments would make use of future generation of 'lie detectors' based directly on human brain activity, like fMRI and EEG. We...
