Expectation-Based Reference Points is a theoretical construct in behavioral economics that specifies an individual's reference point for evaluating gains and losses as being determined by their prior expectations, thereby distinguishing it from alternative reference point models grounded in past outcomes, social comparisons, or aspirational goals.
