We examine the investment decision problem of a group whose members have heterogeneous time preferences. In particular … exponential discounting for their collective investment decisions even if all agents discount exponentially.We also exhibit … conditions that lead the representative agent to have a rate of impatience that decreases with GDP per capita. …
