SAN MARTIN, René; ISLA, Pablo e MELIS, Camilo. Preferencia temporal en el cerebro: una revisión crítica de las contribuciones de la neuroeconomía al estudio de la elección intertemporal. El trimestre econ [online]. 2012, vol.79, n.314, pp.449-473. ISSN 2448-718X.
Human decision-making tends to involve costs and benefits distributed over time. This article reviews the current state of neuroimaging research on how the brain produces inter-temporal choices. It is proposed that while it is unlikely that neuroscience is the appropriate field to decide between the formal models proposed by behavioral economics, recent advances in the study of the brain have the potential to enhance these models by incorporating new knowledge on how the brain represents magnitude, attribute value, regulates goal-directed behaviors and generates prospective thinking.
