متن کاملUncertain discount rates in climate policy analysis
Consequences in the distant future—such as those from climate change—have little value today when discounted using conventional rates. This result contradicts our ‘‘gut feeling’’ about such problems and often leads to ad hoc application of lower rates for valuations over longer horizons—a step facilitated by confusion and disagreement over the correct rate even over short horizons. We review th...
متن کاملHyperbolic discounting and the standard model: Eliciting discount functions
Experiments on static intertemporal choice nd evidence of particularly extreme impatience toward immediate rewards. While this is often taken as support for hyperbolic discounting, it could also arise because the most likely participants in experiments are also those with the most immediate need for money. We conduct a calibration exercise and nd that the extreme impatience observed in experi...
متن کاملPreferences over Uncertain Investment Horizons
This research proposes and discusses proper notions of risk and risk aversion for risks in the dimension of time, which are suitable for the analysis of time optimal decision making according to Burkhardt. The time optimal approach assumes a decision maker with a given goal, e.g. a given future wealth level, that he would like to reach as early as possible. To reach the goal, he can choose from...
