The tendency to foreshorten time units as we peer further into the future provides an explanation for hyperbolic discounting at an intergenerational time scale. We study implications of hyperbolic discounting for climate change policy, when the probability of a climate-induced catastrophe...

The paper introduces a new notion of risk aversion that is independent of the good under observation and its measure … consumption paths and the von Neumann & Morgenstern (1944) assumptions. In the one-commodity special case, the new notion of risk … aversion closely relates to a disentanglement of standard risk aversion and intertemporal substitutability. …
