Impatience as Intertemporal Egoism
We build on a philosophical account of personal identity (Parfit, 1984) which argues that the degree of concern one has for one’s future self may be scaled by the degree of “psychological connectedness”—overlap in properties such as beliefs, values, and ideals—held between one’s current and future self. We pose participants with tradeoffs between consuming a benefit in the near future versus co...
متن کاملMeasuring Impatience in Intertemporal Choice
In general terms, decreasing impatience means decreasing discount rates. This property has been usually referred to as hyperbolic discounting, although there are other discount functions which also exhibit decreasing discount rates. This paper focuses on the measurement of the impatience associated with a discount function with the aim of establishing a methodology to compare this characteristi...
متن کاملImpatience for Weakly Paretian Orders: Existence and Genericity
We study order theoretic and topological implications for impatience of weakly Paretian, representable orders on infinite utility streams. As a departure from the traditional literature, we do not make any continuity assumptions in proving the existence of impatient points. Impatience is robust in the sense that there are uncountably many impatient points. A general statement about genericity o...
متن کاملInverting Monotone Continuous Functions in Constructive Analysis
We prove constructively (in the style of Bishop) that every monotone continuous function with a uniform modulus of increase has a continuous inverse. The proof is formalized, and a realizing term extracted. This term can be applied to concrete continuous functions and arguments, and then normalized to a rational approximation of say a zero of a given function. It turns out that even in the logi...
متن کاملConstructive Logic for All
It is a commonplace in recent metaphysics that one’s logical commitments go hand in hand with one’s metaphysics. Brouwer, Heyting and Dummett have each championed the move to constructive (intuitionistic) reasoning on the grounds of anti-realism. I hope to break this close connection, to explain why a realist ought to reason constructively.
