متن کاملOn Time-Consistent Collective Choice with Heterogeneous Quasi- Hyperbolic Discounting
A general setup is considered where agents are characterised by quasi-hyperbolic discounting and by heterogeneous bias for the present and heterogenous discounting parameters. Consumptions are moreover subject to a standard feasibility constraint. A collective utility function is defined as a function of the intertemporal utilities of the selves of the di erent agents, the elementary unit being...
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...
متن کاملOnline Appendix to: “Axiomatization and measurement of Quasi-hyperbolic Discounting”
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...
