The experiments designed to estimate real-life discount rates in intertemporal choice often rely on ordered choice lists, where the list by design aims to capture a switch point between near- and far-future alternatives. Structural models like a Samuelson discounted utility model are often...

We here estimate a number of alternatives to discounted-utility theory, such as quasi-hyperbolic discounting …, generalized hyperbolic discounting, and rank-dependent discounted utility with three different models of probabilistic choice. The … data come from a controlled laboratory experiment designed to reveal individual time preferences in two rounds of 100 …

This paper estimates the importance of temptation (Gul and Pesendorfer, 2001) for consumption smoothing and asset accumulation in a structural life-cycle model. We use two complementary estimation strategies: first, we estimate the Euler equation of this model; and second we match liquid and...

This paper investigates the presence of habit formation in household consumption, using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. We develop an econometric model of internal habit formation of the multiplicative specification. The restrictions of the model allow for classical measurement...

This paper uses a consumption-based dynamic quantile preference model to estimate the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS) across different levels of risk attitude. In the quantile model, the risk attitude is captured by the quantile and is, therefore, separable from the EIS. This is...
