Time discounting, present biases, and health-related behavior
Kang, Myong-Il; Ikeda, Shinsuke - 2013
Analysis of an original nationwide Internet survey reveals that health-related behavior shows associations with three … are indicative of being a time-inconsistent procrastinator, and classified as sophisticated otherwise. The health …-related indicators that we examine relate to smoking, health condition, dentition status, and body habitus. We first show that a higher …

Time discounting and smoking behavior under tax hikes
Kang, Myong-Il; Ikeda, Shinsuke - 2010
By combining our broad panel survey of Japanese adults from 2005 to 2008 and actual cigarette tax data, we investigate how smoking behavior including responses to tax hikes depends on time discounting and its biases, such as hyperbolic discounting and the sign effect. Cigarette consumption...

Fat debtors: Time discounting, its anomalies, and body mass index
Ikeda, Shinsuke; Kang, Myong-Il; Ohtake, Fumio - 2009
In view of the finding that debtors are likely to be more obese than nondebtors, we investigate whether interpersonal differences in body mass are, as in the case of debt behavior, related to those in time discounting and time discounting anomalies. The effects of time discounting on body mass...

Interpreting time horizon effects in inter-temporal choice
Dohmen, Thomas; Falk, Armin; Huffman, David; Sunde, Uwe - 2012
We compare different designs that have been used to test for an impact of time horizon on discounting, using real incentives and two representative data sets. With the most commonly used type of design we replicate the typical finding of declining (hyperbolic) discounting, but with other designs...

Be patient when measuring Hyperbolic Discounting : stationarity, time consistency and time invariance in a field experiment
Janssens, Wendy; Kramer, Berber; Swart, Lisette - 2015
Most evidence of hyperbolic discounting is based on violations of either stationarity or time consistency as observed in choice experiments. These choice reversals may however also result from time-varying discount rates. Hyperbolic discounting is a plausible explanation for choice reversals...

Under risk, over time, regarding other people : language and rationality within three dimensions
Jullien, Dorian - 2018
This paper conducts a systematic comparison of behavioral economics’s challenges to the standard accounts of economic behaviors within three dimensions: under risk, over time and regarding other people. A new perspective on two underlying methodological issues, i.e., interdisciplinarity and...

Interpreting Time Horizon Effects in Inter-Temporal Choice
