title: Drug-intake regulation and the interplay between economic costs and benefits: comment on Lynch and Carroll (2001).
abstract: W. J. Lynch and M. E. Carroll's (2001) review argues against aversive effects and for satiation and direct effects as the mechanisms responsible for the descending limb of the dose-response function. Analysis is provided that suggests they may prematurely dispose of the aversive-effects account. Further analysis of the evidence for satiation and direct effects supports the authors' contention that neither can be exclusively supported. A brief behavioral-economic analysis of drug-intake regulation and the descending limb of the dose-response function is presented.
