Utility theory based on human nature and its implications to economics

这项研究提供了人类倾向于贴现未来和关心社会地位的生物学基础，并表明，将这些倾向纳入经济模型，我们可以解释人口和经济现象，如现代生育率转变。然后，集中在生物和经济模型的相似性，本研究提出了一个经济框架，是与生物框架一致。这些结果表明，我们可以重建效用理论使用的生物框架。

This study provides biological foundations of human tendencies to discount future and to care about social status, and demonstrates that, incorporating these tendencies into economic models, we can explain demographic and economic phenomena such as the modern fertility transition. Then, focusing on similarities in biological and economic models, this study presents an economic framework that is consistent with the biological framework. These results indicate that we can rebuild utility theory using the biological framework.
