在过去的半个世纪里，经济学家们对阿莱[Econometrica（1953）53]、埃尔斯伯格[Quart.（1961）643]和其他人要么通过限制经济理论的范围，要么通过转向描述性方法而上升到新古典主义。虽然这两种策略都取得了巨大的成果，但都没有像新古典主义那样提供一种明确的纲领性方法，以全面理解人类的决策。然而，越来越多的证据表明，经济学家和神经生物学家现在开始揭示人类神经结构完成决策的物理机制。虽然这些研究还处于起步阶段，但它们既为理解人类决策提供了一个统一的框架，也为限制经济理论的范围和结构提供了一种方法。事实上，已经有证据表明，这些研究对现有的经济模型施加了数学约束。本文回顾了其中的一些限制，并提出了神经经济学决策理论的轮廓。(c)2004爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Over the past half century economists have responded to the challenges of Allais [Econometrica (1953) 53], Ellsberg [Quart. J. Econ. (1961) 643] and others raised to neoclassicism either by bounding the reach of economic theory or by turning to descriptive approaches. While both of these strategies have been enormously fruitful, neither has provided a clear programmatic approach that aspires to a complete understanding of human decision making as did neoclassicism. There is, however, growing evidence that economists and neurobiologists are now beginning to reveal the physical mechanisms by which the human neuroarchitecture accomplishes decision making. Although in their infancy, these studies suggest both a single unified framework for understanding human decision making and a methodology for constraining the scope and structure of economic theory. Indeed, there is already evidence that these studies place mathematical constraints on existing economic models. This article reviews some of those constraints and suggests the outline of a neuroeconomic theory of decision. (c) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
