Handbook of Operant Behavioral Economics: Demand, Discounting, Methods, and Applications covers two major domains of operant behavioral economics: operant demand and reward discounting. The book reviews the historical foundations of this approach, including both human and nonhuman research methods for studying demand and discounting, quantitative modeling of these processes, and educational and clinical applications. The last section provides the readers with a specific discussion on how to begin translating these concepts to policy development and resources for starting a line of research in these areas.
Written for graduate students, clinicians, and academics, this book serves as a resource for readers both new to behavioral economics and those with specific expertise in the field.
