Elasticity of Money as a Reinforcer: Assessing Multiple Compositions of Unit Price
… solved math problems to earn money at various unit prices. Results indicate that demand of money adhered to the law of demand in that consumption decreased as unit prices increased. An underlying assumption is that consumption should be equivalent at different compositions of unit price. …

Comparing Force and Ratio Progressions from the Behavioral Economic Unit Price Equation
… the currently predominant conceptualization of unit price suggests that increasing lever weight or ratio requirement should result in equal changes in unit price and thus identical changes in consumption. Data from the few studies that have compared consumption under ratio progressions and force …

A Behavioral Economic Analysis of the Effects of Unit Price Sequence on Demand for Money in Humans.
… groups of participants were exposed to different unit price sequences. Unit prices for all groups ranged from unit price 1 to 21. Analyses of demand curves, response rates, session duration, and elasticity coefficients suggest that the sequence of exposure to unit prices can affect the elasticity …

A Behavioral Economic Analysis of the Demand for Money in Humans
This study investigated the effects of unit price structure, unit price descriptions, and unit price sequence on the demand for money in humans. Six groups of 3 participants solved multiplication problems in exchange for money under various unit prices. Consumption of money decreased as the unit …

Determinants of the spatial dynamics of housing prices in Chengdu, China, 2005-2010
Housing unit prices differ among 75 street blocks per time period in Chengdu, China. Housing unit price's appreciation also moves differently in the 75 street blocks between 2005 and 2010. With solid transaction data acquired from Chengdu Housing Administration Department, two regression models, …

The Effects of Cumulative Consumption Feedback On Demand For Money As A Commodity
… these variables into one independent variable (unit price) affecting operant behavior. This study investigated the relative effects of cumulative feedback on consumption for money as a commodity. Subjects were exposed to ranges of unit prices with or without a cumulative feedback bar on the …

Life cycle cost analysis of asphalt and concrete pavements
… a different discount rate were to be used or the unit price were to fluctuate. Too low a rate of return could favour a more expensive project, which could thus shift from being unprofitable to profitable. Unit price changes have the same effect.

Parsing Distinct Aspects of the Addiction Process Using Cocaine Self-Administration, Behavioral Economics, Neuropharmacology and Neurochemistry
… by studying changes in consumption when the unit-price of cocaine is relatively cheap; changes in the time and energy devoted to obtain cocaine can be studied by assessing changes in the maximal price paid for drug when the unit-price of cocaine is relatively high. The current series of …

Using visual analytics to drive lean behavior in program management office
… larger order, Raytheon reduced the acquisition unit price to the customer. Thus, there is a burning platform to evaluate the current program assessment tools and ensure that the future assessment tools are adequate for a smooth production schedule. In addition, there is a need to create a more …

Addressing endogeneity in residential location models
… location choice models have reported dwelling-unit price estimated parameters that are small, not statistically significant, or even positive. This would imply that households are non-sensitive to changes in dwelling unit prices or location taxes, which is not only against intuition, but also …

Locomotor activity does not predict individual differences in morphine self-administration in rats
… animals were allowed to acquire morphine SA at a unit dose of 0.5 mg/kg/infusion in 4 hour/day sessions (Experiment 1) or 0.2 mg/kg/infusion in 2 hour/day sessions (Experiment 2) until infusion rates were stable. Unit price was subsequently manipulated via progressive reductions in unit dose …

Component unit pricing theory
Building contractors are often commissioned using unit price based contracts. They, nevertheless, often compete on the basis of their overall project bids and yet are paid on the basis of these projectsâ constituent item prices. If a contractor decides these prices by way of applying an uneven …

Dynamic travel time models for pricing and route guidance : a fluid dynamics approach
… in a transportation network? How long does a unit of product remain in inventory before being sold? As a result, our goal is not only to develop models for travel times as they arise in a variety of dynamically evolving environments, but also to investigate the application of these models in …

Towards integrated QPSK transceiver on zero-change CMOS foundry process
… for Internet bandwidth increases while the unit price of bandwidth decreases. To keep up with the trend, more cost-eective optical telecommunication links are required. Due to the limited amount of optical fibers and wave- length range, increasing spectral eciency is a desirable approach. …
