Discounting models for long-term decision making
This paper investigates alternative approaches to constant rate discounting for calculation of Net Present Value (NPV) in life cycle cost models that are used for engineering trade studies. Alternative approaches are necessary to meet the challenge of equitable intergenerational resource allocation for projects like radioactive waste disposal that have a life cycle that impacts future generatio...
متن کاملDecision Making With Long-Term Consequences: Temporal Discounting for Single and Multiple Outcomes in the Future
Two experiments were conducted to investigate how individuals evaluate future outcomes. Normative decision models postulate that the value of future outcomes should be discounted as a function of time. The present research obtained discounted values for single outcomes in the future but did not obtain discounted values for outcomes presented in series. In Experiment 1, students evaluated (a) co...
متن کاملLong Term Care and Family Decision Making
The goal of this project is to develop and estimate realistic models of family decision making concerning long-term care of elderly parents. My theoretical and empirical models are rich in the sense that family members face a wide range of options including nursing home care, formal care provided in the elderly individuals home (home health care), informal care, and no care. Despite the rich s...

متن کاملRisk-adjusted gamma discounting
It is widely recognized that the economics of distant-future events, like climate change, is critically dependent upon the choice of a discount rate. Unfortunately, it is unclear how to discount distant-future events when the future discount rate itself is unknown. In previous work, an analytically-tractable approach called ‘‘gamma discounting’’ was proposed, which gave a declining discount rat...
