In this paper we formulate and investigate experimentally a model of how individuals choose between time sequences of … the economics domain. In the experiment we find that: 1) traditional economic models based on discounting alone cannot … association between 'irrational' choices. -- time preference ; time sequences ; negative discounting …

We investigate whether and how time pressure affects performance. We conducted a field experiment in which students … from an Italian University are proposed to choose between two exam schemes: a standard scheme without time pressure and an … alternative scheme consisting of two written intermediate tests, one of which to be taken under time pressure. Both exam schemes …

We estimate the effect of an increase in time cost on the return behavior of blood donors. Using data from the … variation in which donor wait times are random, we use the length of time a donor spends waiting to make his donation as our … measure of cost. Our data allows us to go beyond measures of satisfaction and intention and estimate the effect of wait time …
