Brain activations reflect individual discount rates in intertemporal choice.
Humans discount the value of future rewards following a hyperbolic function and thus may prefer a smaller immediate reward over a larger delayed reward. Marked interindividual differences in the steepness of this discounting function can be observed which can be quantified by the parameter k of the discount function. Here, we asked how differences in delay discounting behaviour are reflected by...
متن کاملPropranolol reduces reference-dependence in intertemporal choice
In intertemporal choices between immediate and delayed rewards, people tend to prefer immediate rewards, often even when the delayed reward is larger. This is known as temporal discounting. It has been proposed that this tendency emerges because immediate rewards are more emotionally arousing than delayed rewards. However, in our previous research, we found no evidence for this but instead foun...
متن کاملIntertemporal Risk Aversion, Stationarity and the Rate of Discount
Two central concerns in the sustainability debate are the weight given to the needs of future generations and the application of the precautionary principle. In an economic model, these aspects of intertemporal evaluation can be mapped into time preference and intertemporal risk aversion. The current analysis points out a close link between these different aspects of intertemporal evaluation fr...
متن کاملThe Social Discount Rate under Intertemporal Risk Aversion and Ambiguity
Following the Stern review of climate change the numerical choice of the social discount rate has been identified as one of the most crucial determinants of optimal policy recommendations for greenhouse gas mitigation policies. In this paper I point out two closely related contributions to the social discount rate in an uncertain world that have been overlooked in the debate. First, the standar...
متن کاملReference Points and Loss Aversion in Intertemporal Choice (Preliminary)
Reference points and loss aversion are two essential and commonly used concepts in behavioral economics. In this paper, based on insight of Loewenstein’s (1988) reference point model, we construct a structural model for intertemporal choice with reference points and loss aversion by considering four scenarios: delay of gains, delay of losses, speed-up of gains, and speed-up of losses. We use pa...
