Telecommunication

In telecommunication, the term framing has the following meanings:

• In time-division multiplexing reception, it is a synonym for frame synchronization.
• In video reception, the process of adjusting the timing of the receiver to coincide with the received video synchronization pulse.
• In facsimile, the adjustment of the facsimile picture to a desired position in the direction of scan line progression.

Economics

In Economics, framing means the manner in which a rational choice problem has been presented.

Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman have shown that framing can affect the outcome (ie. the choices one makes) of choice problems to the extent that several of the classic axioms of rational choice do not hold.

A simple example : a seller might be more persuasive if it tells you that the price of a laptop that is supposed to last 4 years (?) will cost you 1 euro a day instead of 1460 euros flat.

This framing biases is one of the themes of behavioral finance

Websites

On a webpage, framing means that the browser window is divided into frames, and that the HTML code for one frame contains a link to a webpage on another website such that these external contents are automatically displayed within the frame (transclusion). This may be confusing and inconvenient to the user: he or she can get the impression that the information belongs to the same website; also, less than the full browser window is available and the address bar is less informative. Some websites request not to be used in this way on other websites; some discourage it by including a framekiller script in its pages. The framing website runs a risk of being blamed for external content that e.g. is or becomes inaccurate or objectionable. See [1], [1]. For an example of framing, see DVD-ROM.
