. Specifically, we administer an at-home sleep restriction protocol combined with random assignment to the time-of-day for decision … making. Thus, we induce sleepiness in our subjects via sleep restriction as well as suboptimal time-of-day prior to …

This paper investigates, both theoretically and empirically, the effect of sociability on the age of marriage. Theoretically, a more sociable individual has higher chances of finding a suitable partner for marriage early in life, and hence is expected to marry earlier than an otherwise similar...

We compare different designs that have been used to test for an impact of time horizon on discounting, using real …

We examine the timing of firms' operations in a formal model of labor demand. Merging a variety of data sets from Portugal from 1995-2004, we describe temporal patterns of firms' demand for labor and estimate production-functions and relative labor-demand equations. The results demonstrate the...

of Becker's theory to model preferences over continuous time blocks. To examine whether the predictions of the model are …Most activities in life require a certain amount of continuous time. Yet, in the traditional economic model of time … allocation, the time block is not taken into account. Hence, the same amount of utility is derived from an activity regardless of …

We show that temporally distancing the decision task from the payment of the reward increases honest behavior. Each of 427 Israeli soldiers fulfilling their mandatory military service rolled a six-sided die in private and reported the outcome to the unit's cadet coordinator. For every point...

In many markets, sellers advertise their good with an asking price. This is a price at which the seller is willing to take his good off the market and trade immediately, though it is understood that a buyer can submit an offer below the asking price and that this offer may be accepted if the...

characterized by high degrees of time pressure affects individuals' self-selection. At this aim we run a lab-in-the-field experiment … structured in two parts. The first part investigates individual characteristics that affect performance under time pressure …, while the second is devoted to analyze how the decision to work under time pressure is affected by the reward …

ozone precursors and not when these emissions occur. Using hourly data on ambient ozone from 1980-2017 near the U.S. time … zone borders, we provide evidence that the 1-hour time difference on either side of a border leads to a nontrivial change … shifting when these emissions occurred. We conclude by outlining a possible policy solution to account for the time value of …
