Interpreting Time Horizon Effects in Inter-Temporal Choice
Interpreting Time Horizon Effects in Inter-Temporal Choice We compare different designs that have been used to test for an impact of time horizon on discounting, using real incentives and two representative data sets. With the most commonly used type of design we replicate the typical finding of declining (hyperbolic) discounting, but with other designs find constant or increasing discounting. ...
متن کاملTemporal Discounting and Inter-Temporal Choice in Rhesus Monkeys
Humans and animals are more likely to take an action leading to an immediate reward than actions with delayed rewards of similar magnitudes. Although such devaluation of delayed rewards has been almost universally described by hyperbolic discount functions, the rate of this temporal discounting varies substantially among different animal species. This might be in part due to the differences in ...
متن کاملAging impairs deliberation and behavioral flexibility in inter-temporal choice
Inter-temporal choice depends on multiple, interacting systems, some of which may be compromised with age. Some of these systems may be responsible for ongoing trial-by-trial choice strategies. Some may represent the consequences of action. Some may be necessary for the coupling between anticipated consequences and strategies currently in use, flexibly guiding behavior. When faced with a diffic...
متن کاملInterpreting Long-Horizon Estimates in Predictive Regressions
This paper analyzes the asymptotic properties of long-horizon estimators under both the null hypothesis and an alternative of predictability. Asymptotically, under the null of no predictability, the long-run estimator is an increasing deterministic function of the short-run estimate and the forecasting horizon. Under the alternative of predictability, the conditional distribution of the long-ru...
متن کاملInter-temporal Preference for Flexibility and Risky Choice∗
We derive an inter-temporal theory, in the spirit of Kreps and Porteus (1978), of changing tastes and unforeseen contingencies from normative primitives by weakening the completeness axiom of von Neumann and Morgenstern. Our agent can only partially order future decisions, yet desires inter-temporal consistency. Our formulation contrasts with existing literature in several ways: (i) the theory ...
