DESCRIPTION:*This paper provides an overview of the concept of effort withi
 n the realm of neuroeconomics and discusses methods for its quantification.
  It surveys existing literature on effort and cognitive effort\, delineatin
 g two predominant perspectives: active arousal and negative valence. These 
 perspectives offer distinct predictions and suggest varied approaches to me
 asuring effort and its relationship with performance. To adjudicate between
  these perspectives\, we present a novel experimental design incorporating 
 pupillometry and electroencephalography (EEG) data acquisition. Preliminary
  findings from the experiment lend support to the arousal perspective of co
 gnitive effort.**Industrial lobbies often fund scientific studies strategic
 ally aimed at diverting public attention from their culpability in health o
 r environmental issues\, perpetuating doubt\, and delaying regulatory measu
 res. We call this strategy “diversion research”. To understand what det
 ermines its use\, we propose a new model to study firms’ special interest
 s in funding academic research. The harmfulness of industrial activity is u
 ncertain\, but the government can regulate it to maximize the expected soci
 al welfare perceived by scientists. Firms\, coordinating as a lobby\, offer
  money to influence what scientists study. We find that this lobby is inter
 ested in funding diversion research when the current science does not indic
 ate a need for regulation. Surprisingly\, when the science indicates that r
 egulation is required\, firms might even fund research on their own harmful
 ness. This article highlights the importance of preserving academic freedom
  to prevent first-order welfare losses due to the use of diversion research
 . One possibility is to allow private funding\, with allocation overseen by
  an independent committee.\\n\\nContact: Lucie Giorgi: lucie.giorgi[at]univ
