Discounting the Discounted Projection Approach [PDF]
North American Actuarial Journal, 2021 UK equity release actuaries are using a flawed approach to value the no-negative equity guarantees in their equity release mortgages.

Economic Inquiry, 2019 We investigate the practice of framing a price as a discount from an earlier price, with information such as “was $200, now $100.” We discuss two reasons why a discounted price—rather than a merely low price—can make a consumer more willing to purchase.

Discounting behavior: A reconsideration [PDF]
European Economic Review, 2014 We re-evaluate the theory, experimental design and econometrics behind claims that individuals exhibit non-constant discounting behavior. Theory points to the importance of controlling for the non-linearity of the utility function of individuals, since the discount rate is defined over time-dated utility flows and not flows of money.

Information Processing Letters, 2022 We study the $k$-median with discounts problem, wherein we are given clients with non-negative discounts and seek to open at most $k$ facilities. The goal is to minimize the sum of distances from each client to its nearest open facility which is discounted by its own discount value, with minimum contribution being zero.

The Discounting of Discounts and Promotion Thresholds

Critical Discount Factor Values in Discounted Supergames [PDF]
Games, 2018 This paper examines the subgame-perfect equilibria in symmetric 2×2 supergames. We solve the smallest discount factor value for which the players obtain all the feasible and individually rational payoffs as equilibrium payoffs. We show that the critical discount factor values are not that high in many games and they generally depend on how large the ...
