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 … conclude that when incomes fluctuate, one can only identify hyperbolic discounting by eliciting violations of both stationarity …

In this paper we analyze a stochastic continuous time model in finite horizon in which the agent discounts the instantaneous utility function and the final function at constant but different instantaneous discount rates of time preference. Within this context we can model problems in which, when...

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 give a set of sufficient conditions for uniqueness of a time-consistent Markov stationary consumption policy for a quasi-hyperbolic household under uncertainty. To the best of our knowledge, this uniqueness result is the first presented in the literature for general settings, i.e. under...
