Temptation and Self-Control†
In a two period decision problem, we study individuals who, in the second period, may be tempted by ex ante inferior choices. Individuals have preferences over sets of alternatives that represent the feasible choices in the second period. Our axioms yield a representation that identifies the individual’s commitment ranking, her temptation ranking, and her cost of selfcontrol. We provide an axio...
متن کاملSaying "no" to temptation: Want-to motivation improves self-regulation by reducing temptation rather than by increasing self-control.
Self-regulation has been conceptualized as the interplay between controlled and impulsive processes; however, most research has focused on the controlled side (i.e., effortful self-control). The present studies focus on the effects of motivation on impulsive processes, including automatic preferences for goal-disruptive stimuli and subjective reports of temptations and obstacles, contrasting th...
متن کاملOn incentives, temptation and self-control
We consider a principal-agent model, where a single agent exhibits problems of self control modelled using Gul, Pesendorfer (2001) type temptation preferences. For a general class of preferences, yet specific family of temptation utilities, we characterize an optimal contract in such a setting using standard Grossman, Hart (1983) techniques. Firstly, our analysis shows that contrary to standard...
متن کاملTemptation, Self-Control, and Competitive Nonlinear Pricing
Standard pricing theories consider consumers without temptation. With temptation and costly self-control, consumers dislike choice sets with tempting alternatives. We study firms’ strategy against such consumers, using Gul–Pesendorfer preferences and a game where firms compete by offering menus. JEL Classification: D43, L13, L15
متن کاملTemptation and Self-Control: A Corrigendum
GP studied preferences over menus (sets) of alternatives. This implicitly means that the decision maker chooses a menu and then selects an alternative from the menu. Consider a compact metric space Z of prizes. Let ∆ be the set of all Borel probability measures over Z. An element in ∆ represents an alternative for (implicit) choice. Assume that ∆ is endowed with the topology of weak convergence...
