We characterize intertemporal utility functions over heterogeneous goods that feature (i) a constant elasticity of … the goods. We find that a standard (stationary) intertemporal utility function is consistent with these two properties if … elasticities of substitution are identical, or if the instantaneous utility function is Cobb-Douglas. We also characterize the …

This paper develops a dynamic programming method when the one-stage deviation principle in the sense of mechanism design literature doesn’t hold. The commonly used dynamic programming method is valid only if the one-stage deviation principle in the sense of mechanism design literature is...

More … importantly, though, effects of transparency differ depending on whether people are fast or slow in their decision making. In … particular, (only) slow decision makers react more positively (keeping the default) if nudging is made transparent. Moreover, the …

We introduce a novel approach to solving dynamic programming problems, such as those in many economic models, on a quantum annealer, a specialized device that performs combinatorial optimization. Quantum annealers attempt to solve an NP-hard problem by starting in a quantum superposition of all...
