A quasi-hyperbolic discounting approach to smoking behavior
Addiction has attracted considerable attention in health and behavioral economics, and economists have attempted to understand addiction from the viewpoint of decision making over time. This paper investigates whether two time preference parameters can successfully predict smoking status, including cigarette dependence. Both the present bias and the constant time preference parameters account f...
متن کاملA Simple Axiomatization of Quasi-hyperbolic Discounting∗
This paper provides a novel axiomatization of quasi-hyperbolic discounting, which imposes consistency restrictions directly on the intertemporal tradeoffs. The experimental design proposed in this paper will be useful for experimental work since it renders the short-run discount factor elicitation independent of the utility function. This makes comparisons of impatience across a spectrum of dif...
متن کاملAxiomatization and Measurement of Quasi-hyperbolic Discounting*
This article provides an axiomatic characterization of quasi-hyperbolic discounting and a more general class of semi-hyperbolic preferences. We impose consistency restrictions directly on the intertemporal trade-offs by relying on what we call ‘‘annuity compensations.’’ Our axiomatization leads naturally to an experimental design that disentangles discounting from the elasticity of intertempora...

As discussed before our initial sample consists of two groups of subjects. Group “M” has 639 subjects that answered the “Money” questionnaire. Group “IC” has 640 subjects that answered the “Ice-cream” questionnaire. Inside each group, we associate subjects with an Internet Protocol address (IP) and we verify that there is no IP repetition inside the group. Consequently, we do not allow for a si...
