Vigor and aspiration levels in neuroeconomics

Abstract

In this contribution, we criticize the demanding assumption of vigor that economic agents are maximizers. We discuss the link between vigor and subjective value through the alternative notion of aspiration levels, arguing that vigor can help articulate the ecological balance - central in bounded and ecological rationality - between minimum expected reward (aspiration level) and the efforts made for its attainment.
