A growing number of empirical studies have aimed to identify dynamic inconsistency by combining diverse sets of elicitation designs and tested the extent to which this important component of individual heterogeneity predicts behavior; however, relatively little consensus on which designs are the...

This paper estimates time preference parameters using commonly-applied methodologies, with the aim of investigating the link between these measures and actual economic behaviour. An experiment was conducted in the city of Thies, in Senegal, using the unique reference numbers of banknotes as a...

The paper develops an oil price forecasting technique which is based on the present value model of rational commodity pricing. The approach suggests shifting the forecasting problem to the marginal convenience yield which can be derived from the cost-of-carry relationship. In a recursive...
