Arthur, I sent this to you
yesterday, but am not sure it went thru. Thus, re-sent.
Arthur, Gretchen also reread the H-S
paper which elicited a comment to her from me as
follows:
"Arthur also recently reread the Hershey-Schoemaker paper, and found
the strength of the reflection effect to be not as great as he remembered
it. I would remind you that in the recurring trauma of journal peer
review of the monetary modeling paper, all the data re reflection effect
was eliminated. We indeed have a treasure trove of reflection effect data
in the monetary sphere that (now, in a backwards fashion) supplements the
significant reflection effect published in our framing paper. So, if
anyone thought it was important, the monetary reflection effect could be
resurrected and published. I say above "in a backwards fashion"
because our interest always was to do "simple" basic
monetary problems first as a prelude to learning how then to apply
findings to life expectancy problems."
Considering your comment on the
importance of H-S thoughts, would this idea seem attractive to
you? See you Saturday.

Lionel,
I received this message but I do not think that Arthur did, so I am
forwarding it to him. He is in Boston frolicking with grandchildren
but he will respond when he gets back and returns to serious
endeavors.
