Abstract: Research on behavioral economic demand has increased in recent years. Applications of behavioral economic demand are expanding, with behavioral economic demand being used frequently as an assessment of reinforcer valuation and propensity to engage in risky or problematic behaviors. It is also being used to inform policy. As applications of the demand analysis expand, methodology is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Precise analyses are essential to generating quality data than informs treatment and policy. However, conducting these analyses may require additional training for individuals seeking to use the demand analysis as an aid in clinical practice or policy. This presentation will provide an overview of historical and potential future uses of behavioral economic demand in research, practice, and policy. It will also provide an overview of basic concepts in demand. Finally, a brief tutorial of analytic techniques will be provided to improve accessibility of the demand analysis for clinicians and researchers alike. |
