Economics Lunch "plus"
by Prof. C. Miguel Brendl
Zoom: Wednesday, December 16, 12:15pm
Title: “Motivation during goal-pursuit: up, down, or stuck in the middle?”
Abstract
The paper applies a Prospect Theory type reference point logic and marginal utility to understand how people sustain motivation in tasks that require persistence over time (e.g., repaying debt). I chose an older paper of mine (attached), but will point to some recent work that (a) suggests an opportunity for microeconomic theory and (b) examined applied field contexts, such as the debt repayments. My hope is to introduce a topic that might be new and of interest to some in the department.
