passengers exhibit a higher time valuation, and a less price-elastic demand, than leisure passengers. Our main result is the … identification of the time-valuation effect of price discrimination, which can work in the opposite direction as the well …-known output effect on welfare. This time-valuation effect clearly explains why discriminating prices can improve welfare even when …

Most evidence of hyperbolic discounting is based on violations of either stationarity or time consistency as observed … in choice experiments. These choice reversals may however also result from time-varying discount rates. Hyperbolic … discounting is a plausible explanation for choice reversals only if violations of stationarity and time consistency overlap. Our …
