weighting functions for the risky prospects placed 6 and 12 months into the future. The experiment is used to test whether … 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 …

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 … field experiment examines the extent to which this is the case. At different points in time, the same participants allocated …

We study the association of the perseverance-of-effort (PoE) and the consistency-of-interests (CoI) components of the psychological measure of grit, with economic measures of impatience and decreasing impatience (time inconsistency), respectively, in the general population. We find that...

Using a unique field experiment from Canada, we estimate individual preference over risk and time and show considerable …, quasi-hyperbolic discounting as well as subjective failure probability over future payments. We investigate the predictive …

Research has shown that procrastination has signicant adverse effects on individuals, including lower savings and poorer health. Procrastination is typically modeled as resulting from present bias. In this paper we study an alternative: excessively optimistic beliefs about future demands on an...
