decision errors can explain or be highly correlated with hyperbolic discounting and non-linear (inverse-S-shaped) probability … weighting. We find evidence that decision errors are strongly correlated with hyperbolic discounting but do not find that … decision errors are correlated with the strong inverse-S-shaped probability weighting (w(p)) patterns in our two samples. We …

This paper studies the design of optimal time-consistent monetary policy in an economy where the planner trusts its own model, while a representative household uses a set of alternative probability distributions governing the evolution of the exogenous state of the economy. In such environments,...

We establish a class of fully nonlinear conditional expectations. Similarly to the usage of linear expectations when a probabilistic description of uncertainty is present, we observe analogue quantitative and qualitative properties. The type of nonlinearity captures the agents sentiments of...
