Abstract

This article recasts Maslow's Theory of Motivation into a form amenable to economic analysis. The transformation is accomplished by developing a decision structure that duplicates key implications of the theory and then combines this formulation with the methodology of utility maximization. The resulting model is used to examine how changing levels of economic income and noneconomic forms of wealth affect the desired content of the consumption bundle.
