REWARD EXPECTATIONS AND ALLOCATIVE BEHAVIORS: A MATHEMATICAL MODEL

Abstract

We present a specific mathematical model for predicting allocative behaviors in the context of reward expectations theory. We test the goodness of fit of the model to data from two empirical studies and demonstrate that it fits quite well. We also suggest alternative research uses for the model.
