行为经济学是行为实验分析(EAB)和经济学的综合，旨在确定增强剂的相对价值作为各种环境约束的函数。早期的动物和人体研究往往侧重于药物强化，这一点一直延续到现在。特别是，对与尼古丁和吸烟有关的人类和动物行为的行为经济学分析有助于更好地理解这种行为，并在戒烟治疗、烟草监管科学和烟草控制领域更多地依赖这些方法。在这篇评论中，我们简要描述了EAB方法背景下的行为经济学的历史，这些方法对理解吸烟和烟草监管的特殊贡献，以及该领域的增长机会和仍然存在的挑战。随着行为经济学继续刺激研究并为政策提供信息，我们提出，理解行为的严格分析方法的基本要素是这种方法成果的关键贡献因素。
Behavioral economics, a synthesis of the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB) and economics, seeks to determine the relative value of reinforcers as a function of various environmental constraints. Early animal and human studies often focused on drug reinforcement, and this has continued to the present. In particular, behavioral economic analyses of human and animal behavior in relation to nicotine and cigarette smoking have contributed to a greater understanding of this behavior, and to a greater reliance on these methods in the field of smoking cessation treatment, tobacco regulatory science and tobacco control. In this commentary, we briefly describe the history of behavioral economics in the context of EAB methods, the particular contribution of these methods to understanding cigarette smoking and the advance of tobacco regulation, as well as opportunities for growth and remaining challenges in this area. As behavioral economics continues to stimulate research and inform policy, we propose that the underlying elements of a rigorous analytic approach to understanding behavior are key contributors to the fruitfulness of this approach.
