Interpreting time horizon effects in inter-temporal choice
Dohmen, Thomas; Falk, Armin; Huffman, David; Sunde, Uwe - 2012
We compare different designs that have been used to test for an impact of time horizon on discounting, using real … declining (hyperbolic) discounting, but with other designs find constant or increasing discounting. As a whole, the data are not … consistent with any of these usual candidate discounting assumptions, and they also imply a violation of transitivity. The …

Longevity and patience
Falk, Armin; Hermle, Johannes; Sunde, Uwe - 2019
Why does patience vary across individuals and countries? We provide evidence on a widely-hypothesized mechanism, namely that higher longevity fosters patience. Using data on patience for 80,000 individuals in 76 countries, this paper relates exogenous variation in longevity across...

The nature and predictive power of preferences : global evidence
Falk, Armin; Becker, Anke; Dohmen, Thomas; Enke, Benjamin; … - 2015
This paper presents the Global Preference Survey, a globally representative dataset on risk and time preferences, positive and negative reciprocity, altruism, and trust. We collected these preference data as well as a rich set of covariates for 80,000 individuals, drawn as representative samples...

Global evidence on economic preferences
Becker, Anke; Dohmen, Thomas; Enke, Benjamin; Falk, Armin; … - 2018
This paper studies the global variation in economic preferences. For this purpose, we present the Global Preference Survey (GPS), an experimentally validated survey dataset of time preference, risk preference, positive and negative reciprocity, altruism, and trust from 80,000 individuals in 76...

Non-additivity of subjective expectations over different time intervals
Haan, Peter; Sun, Chen; Sunde, Uwe; Weizsäcker, Georg - 2022
We examine the additivity of stock-market expectations over different time intervals. When asked about a ten-year interval, survey respondents expect a stock-price change that is not equal to, but closer to zero than, the sum of their expectations over two shorter time intervals that cover the...
