The Importance of the Cognitive Environment for Intertemporal Choice
Kuhn, Michael - 2013
We experimentally manipulate two aspects of the cognitive environment, cognitive depletion and recent sugar intake, and estimate their effects on individuals' time preferences in a way that allows us to identify the structural parameters of a simple (α,β,δ) intertemporal utility function for...
