A 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 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 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 کاملAssessing a 2-System Model of Quasi-Hyperbolic Temporal Discounting
People make intertemporal choices, decisions regarding costs and benefits at different points in time, as a matter of routine. Such choices range from mundane decisions, like when to set one’s alarm clock, to critical decisions, like whether or not to invest in retirement plans or health insurance. Beyond individuals’ decisions, nations must also make intertemporal choices when charting courses...
متن کاملA quasi-hyperbolic discounting approach to smoking behavior
Addiction has attracted considerable attention in health and behavioral economics, and economists have attempted to understand addiction from the viewpoint of decision making over time. This paper investigates whether two time preference parameters can successfully predict smoking status, including cigarette dependence. Both the present bias and the constant time preference parameters account f...
