Temptation and Self-Control: A Corrigendum

چکیده
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. Let A be the set of all compact (with respect to the topology of weak convergence) subsets in ∆. A is endowed with the topology induced by the Hausdorff metric. An element in A represents the menu of alternatives. The primitive of their model is a binary relation % over A . GP considered the following axioms (GP axioms) over %.

The current study aimed to examine the role of a set of personal and social factors and their interaction in shaping temptation for cigarette smoking and substance use among university students. Participants were 766 students at Shahid Beheshti Univers...
متن کاملSelf-Signaling and the Costs and Benefits of Temptation in Consumer Choice
The literature on consumer self-control emphasizes that temptation is costly and focuses on the costs of resisting temptation. We propose that temptation can entail not only costs but also benefits. These arise from self-signaling effects of how consumers handle tempting choice options. Succumbing to temptation is a (costly) self-signal of weak willpower, whereas resisting temptation is a (bene...
متن کاملOptimal Commitment and the Type of Temptation
The main purpose of this paper is to describe how different assumptions about temptation and self-control affect the optimal borrowing and saving contracts in a simple stochastic income setting. I find that the optimal savings plan when temptation is myopic consists of a mandatory minimum level of savings, while the optimal plan for farsighted temptation can have several fully restrictive manda...
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: Some Evidence from the Consumer Expenditure Survey∗
This paper empirically estimates a balanced-growth consistent, dynamic, structural model of intertemporal consumption and asset pricing that allows for, but does not assume, the GulPesendorfer preferences of temptation and self-control, using synthetic panel data constructed from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. One novelty of our model is that the cross-sectional distribution of wealth-consump...
