NEUROECONOMICS: A CRITICAL RECONSIDERATION (2008, background): “…the philosophical literature on frames for coordination games and the possibility of group agency as an explanation for rational cooperation (Sugden 2003; Bacharach 2006). economics (e.g. see Lopes 1995; Barrett et al. 2004; Benhabib and Bisin 2005; and their references to the older literature).”
The Effect of Self-Control Mechanisms on Household Saving Behavior (2013, unknown): “The notion of self-control has been adopted in the study of consumption-saving decision problems by many researchers (Benhabib & Bisin, 2005; Bernheim, Ray, & Yeltekin, 1999; Choi, Laibson, Madrian, & Metrick, 2005; Gul & Pesendorfer, 2001, 2004; Otto, Davies, & Charter, 2006).”
Preference purification and the inner rational agent: a critique of the conventional wisdom of behavioural welfare economics (2016, methodology): “Benhabib and Bisin (2005) use a similar model of interaction between ‘controlled’ and ‘automatic’ processes to explain consumption and saving behaviour.”
Modeling the interplay between affect and deliberation. (2015, background): “Economists, too, have developed dual-process models of human behavior along these lines (Benhabib & Bisin, 2005; Bernheim & Rangel, 2004; Fudenberg & Levine, 2006; Shefrin & Thaler, 1988; Thaler & Shefrin, 1981; and an earlier version of the current article, Loewenstein & O'Donoghue, 2004).”
Expected utility theory and prospect theory: one wedding and a decent funeral (2009, background): “Although historically rare in economics, such models are easy to find in psychology.24 There is also a wide class of “dual self” models becoming popular from behavioral economics, building on insights about the manner in which the brain resolves conflicts (e.g., see Cohen 2005; Benhabib and Bisin 2”
Animal Spirits: Affective and Deliberative Processes in Economic Behavior (2004, background): “More recently, dual-process models have been proposed by Bernheim and Rangel (2003, 2004), Benhabib and Bisin (2004), and Fudenberg and Levine (2004).”
Learning Self-Control (2011, result): “There have been a number of other recent papers—Benabou and Pycia (2002), Bernheim and Rangel (2004), Benhabib and Bisin (2005), Loewenstein and O’Donoghue (2007), Brocas and Carrillo (2008)—that use dual-self models.”
Behavioral economics. (2014, unknown): “In Loewenstein and O’Donoghue, 2004) the systems are deliberative and affective; in Benhabib and Bisin (2005) the systems are controlled and automatic; in Fudenberg and Levine (2004) the systems are “long-run” (and controlling) and “short-run”; in Bernheim and Rangel (2005) the systems are “hot” (au”
