Introducing upfront losses as well as gains decreases impatience in intertemporal choices with rewards [PDF]
AbstractPeople tend to prefer smaller and sooner (SS) rewards over larger and later (LL) ones even when the latter are much larger. Previous research have identified several ways to enhance people’s patience. Adding to this literature, the current paper demonstrates that introduction of upfront losses as well as gains to both SS and LL rewards can ...

Collective Investment Decision Making with Heterogeneous Time Preferences [PDF]
We examine the investment decision problem of a group whose members have heterogeneous time preferences. In particular, they have different discount factors for utility, possibly not exponential. We characterize the properties of efficient allocations of

Discount Functions for Fitting Individual Data [PDF]
The commonly used hyperbolic and quasi-hyperbolic discount functions imply decreasing impatience, which is the prevailing empirical phenomenon in intertemporal choice, in particular for aggregate behavior. At the individual level there is much variation,

The role of time estimation in decreased impatience in Intertemporal Choice
The role of specific cognitive processes in deviations from constant discounting in intertemporal choice is not well understood. We evaluated decreased impatience in intertemporal choice tasks independent of discounting rate and non-linearity in long-scale time representation; nonlinear time representation was expected to explain inconsistencies in ...

Inequalities and patience in catching up [PDF]
This paper examines how impatience interacts with inequalities in economic development. We consider two distinct groups of households (i.e., with intrinsic inequality), and show that (i) under decreasing marginal impatience (DMI), an unequal society may ...

Time preference and dynamic stability in an N-country world economy [PDF]
We examine stability of competitive equilibrium in an N-country world economy with capital accumulation, where each country can have either increasing marginal impatience (IMI) or decreasing marginal impatience (DMI).

Money, Wealth, Time Preference, and Marginal Impatience
This paper addresses whether the monetary expansion can create wealth in the long-run and how this wealth creation is related to the nature of the marginal impatience when preferences are recursive with money yielding utility to infinitely-lived agents ...

Optimal growth and impatience : a phase diagram analysis [PDF]
In this paper we show that we can replace the assumption of constant discount rate in the onesector optimal growth model with the assumption of decreasing marginal impatience without losing major properties of the model.

Transaction Services, Neutrality of Money, and Marginal Impatience
This paper examines the issues of neutrality and optimum quantity of money in the context in which transaction services of money are imputed and enter a utility functional of a recursive class.

Optimal Growth and Impatience: A Phase Diagram Analysis
In this paper we show that we can replace the assumption of constant discount rate in the one-sector optimal growth model with the assumption of decreasing marginal impatience without losing major properties of the model.
