Good things come to those who wait—Decreasing impatience for health gains and losses [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Historically, time preferences are modelled by assuming constant discounting, which implies a constant level of impatience. The prevailing empirical finding, however, is decreasing impatience (DI), meaning that levels of impatience decrease over time ...

Decreasing Impatience for Health Outcomes and Its Relation With Healthy Behavior [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2018
There is a growing amount of literature suggesting people tend to behave inconsistently over time, which is driven by decreasing impatience. In addition, many studies have found relations between discounting estimates from experiments and field behavior,

Measuring Decreasing and Increasing Impatience [PDF]

open access: yesManagement Science, 2019
Many studies show that time preference data from experiments and surveys are related to field behavior. Time preference measures in these studies typically depend simultaneously on utility curvature, the level of impatience, and the change in the level of impatience.

Decreasing Impatience [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2023
We characterize decreasing impatience, a common behavioral phenomenon in intertemporal choice. Discount factors that display decreasing impatience are characterized through a convexity axiom for investments at fixed interest rates. Then we show that they are equivalent to a geometric average of generalized quasi-hyperbolic discount rates.

Generalizing the concept of decreasing impatience

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics, 2023
<abstract><p>The <bold>framework</bold> of this paper is behavioral finance and, more specifically, intertemporal choice when individuals exhibit decreasing impatience in their decision-making processes. After characterizing the two main types of decreasing impatience (moderately and strongly decreasing impatience), the <bold&

A formal analysis of inconsistent decisions in intertemporal choice through subjective time perception [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
The framework of this paper is subjective time perception in the context of intertemporal choice, that is to say, the process of making decisions on dated outcomes (monetary or not) by an individual or a group of individuals.

LAG-1: A dynamic, integrative model of learning, attention, and gaze [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
It is clear that learning and attention interact, but it is an ongoing challenge to integrate their psychological and neurophysiological descriptions. Here we introduce LAG-1, a dynamic neural field model of learning, attention and gaze, that we fit to ...

Decreasing Marginal Impatience and Capital Accumulation in a Two‐Country World Economy [PDF]

open access: yesMetroeconomica, 2015
ABSTRACTThis research is the first to examine dynamic general equilibrium in a growing two‐country economy under decreasing marginal impatience (DMI). The stability condition is shown to be more restrictive than in the case of an endowment economy and/or under increasing marginal impatience (IMI).
