We introduce a modification of the discounted utility model that accounts for both satiation and habit formation in … intertemporal choice. Preferences depend on the satiation level and the habitual consumption level. These two state variables … choice settings. If subjects underestimate the changes in satiation and habituation levels, as occurs under projection bias …

In earlier work (Fuhrer 1997a), I document what I view as the failure of standard models of representative consumer and firm behaviour to replicate the dynamics that we observe in the aggregate data. In essence, these models fail because they imply that both inflation and real variables must...

This paper considers a number of parallels between risky and intertemporal choice. We begin by demonstrating a one-to-one correspondence between the behavioral violations of the respective normative theories for the two domains (i.e., expected utility and discounted utility models). We argue...
