The availability heuristic and therepresentativeness heuristicare both mental shortcuts we rely on when assessing the probability or frequency of something happening. Although they are often confused, they are different types of heuristics. Theavailability heuristicmakes us estimate the likelihood of an ev...

Undercoverage bias is the systematic distortion of a study’s findings due to the way thesamplewas selected. Ideally, researchers should draw a sample that, like a snapshot, adequately captures characteristics that are both present in the target population and relevant for the research. In other...
Processing constraints are implemented by altering the availability of labor and transportation, supply is modulated by restricting international trade, and consumption adjustments are made by reducing final demand. A detailed description of the model structure, equations, parameters, and model simulation ...

The “representativeness heuristic” occurs when we estimate the probability of an event based on how similar it is to a known situation.
Representativeheuristic: Investors might associate stock splits with successful, growing companies, leading to undue optimism.9 While none of these suggest entirely rational decisions by traders, a more prosaic and far less flattering depiction of investors is just that they don't do math well.7For...

Other forms of heuristics include the availability heuristic, the representativeness heuristic, and the anchoring heuristic. Like the satisficing heuristic, each of these enables people to make decisions with lower effort, although presented in different situations. Sponsored Trade on the Go. Anywhere, A...
