Beyond Loss Aversion: The Effect of Losses on Attention, Exploration, and Strategy

Date: 
Mon, 13/10/201408:30-16:00

 

On October 13 2014, a one-day workshop entitled “Beyond Loss Aversion: The Effect of Losses on Attention, Exploration, and Strategy” will be held at Haifa, Israel. The meeting is sponsored by the European Association for Decision Making, the I-CORE program of the Planning and Budgeting Committee and the Israel Science Foundation, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, and the Max Wertheimer Minerva Center for Cognitive Studies at the Technion.

The workshop aims to critically discuss different models and approaches for one of the most important asymmetries in the response to ecological information, the selective response to positive and negative incentives. 
Specifically, recent theoretical conceptualizations have suggested that the effect of losses lies in aspects of cognitive processing that are not strictly weight based. These aspects include the differential effect of losses on the allocation of attention, search and exploration among relevant strategies, and the formation and maintenance of different strategies in response to losses and gains. The workshop will focus on empirical studies that promote the understanding of these different approaches. It will further address applications in decision analysis, policy, economics, and finance.

Speakers include: Benedetto de Martino (University of Cambridge), Andreas Glockner (University of Gottingen), Tomas Lejarraga (MPI Berlin), Carey Morewedge (Boston University), Thorsten Pachur (MPI Berlin), Robert Bohm (RWTH Aachen University), Susann Fiedler (MPI Bonn), Rony Paz (Weizmann Institute), Amos Schurr (Ben-Gurion University), Eyal Ert (Hebrew University), and Marius Usher (Tel-Aviv University). Ido Erev (Technion) will serve as discussant.
