Most evidence of hyperbolic discounting is based on violations of either stationarity or time consistency as observed … discounting is a plausible explanation for choice reversals only if violations of stationarity and time consistency overlap. Our … in choice experiments. These choice reversals may however also result from time-varying discount rates. Hyperbolic …

Yet, economic theory predicts that the scope for punishment as acting as a deterrent depends on how much individuals … criminals have short time horizons, then it is hard to imagine punishment acting as a key deterrent. This paper provides the … first empirical investigation of the link between time preferences and criminal behavior. Our study is made possible by …
