I present a simple framework for modeling two-firm market competition, where each firm chooses a market alternative as well as a costless “marketing message”. Consumers follow a frame-dependent choice function, where the frame is a probabilistic function of the firms’ marketing messages. This framework embeds several recent models in the literature on markets with boundedly rational consumers. ...

We describe the first version of the Media Frames Corpus: several thousand news articles on three policy issues, annotated in terms of media framing. We motivate framing as a phenomenon of study for computational linguistics and describe our annotation process.

Time framing strategies such as Stop-and-Go (S&G) [Golestani S.J., Congestion-free transmission of real-time traffic of real-time traffic in packet networks, IEEE INFOCOM, 1990, pp.527-536; Golestani S.J., A framing strategy for congestion management, IEEE JSAC, 9(7), 1991, pp.1064-1077; Golestani S.J., Congestion-free communication in high-speed packet networks, IEEE Trans. on Communications, ...

Prospect theory suggests that people are risk-averse when facing gains, but risk-prone when facing losses, a pattern known as the framing effect. Although framing effects have been widely demonstrated, few studies have investigated framing effects under conditions of need. Risk-sensitivity theory predicts that decision makers should prefer high-risk options in situations of high need, when lowe...

The attribute framing bias is a well-established phenomenon, in which an object or an event is evaluated more favorably when presented in a positive frame such as “the half full glass” than when presented in the complementary negative framing. Given that previous research showed that visual aids can attenuate this bias, the current research explores the factors underlying the attenuating effect...

OBJECTIVE We conducted a content analysis of public comments to understand the key framing approaches used by private industry v. public health sector, with the goal of informing future public health messaging, framing and advocacy in the context of policy making. DESIGN Comments to the proposed menu-labelling policy were extracted from Regulations.gov and analysed. A framing matrix was used ...

As researchers studying student reasoning in introductory physics, and as instructors teaching courses, we often focus on whether and how students apply what they know in one context to their reasoning in another. But we do not speak in terms of “transfer.” The term connotes to us a unitary view of knowledge as a thing that is acquired in one context and carried (or not) to another. We speak, r...

Software problem framing is a way to find specifications for software. Software problem frames can be used to structure the environment of a software system (the machine) and specify desired software properties in such a way that we can show that software with these properties will help achieve the required effects in the environment. Actually framing a software problem, i.e. finding suitable p...

Around the year 1960 the theory of surgery was developed as part of a program to classify manifolds of dimension greater than 4. Among the questions it addresses is this: Does every framed cobordism class contain a homotopy sphere? Recall that a framing of a closed smooth manifold is an embedding into Euclidean space together with a trivialization of the normal bundle. A good example is given b...
