Predicting utility under satiation and habituation [PDF]
We introduce a modification of the discounted utility model that accounts for both habituation and satiation in intertemporal choice. Habituation level and satiation level are state variables that induce changes in preferences as those states vary.

Food Tastes in the United States: Convergence or Divergence?
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how food consumption tastes have changed in recent decades across the United States. Using NielsenIQ data for over 77 million transactions, there is evidence of divergence in food tastes across regions from 2007 to 2016 and across households of different income, education, and race/ethnicity groups.

A value function that explains the magnitude and sign effects [PDF]
Two of the anomalies of the exponentially discounted utility model are the 'magnitude effect' (larger magnitudes are discounted less) and the 'sign effect' (a loss is discounted less than a gain of the same magnitude).

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study advances the literature on sustainable urban agriculture and alternative sustainable food production systems, which have gained momentum due to the need to strengthen regional food supply chains and meet the growing urban demand for fresh food. Indoor agriculture (IA) holds promise for year‐round cultivation of fresh produce even in

Welfare Foundations of Discounting [PDF]
We investigate whether temporal preferences expressed as a sum of discounted consumption utilities can be derived from a welfare representation in the form of a sum of discounted total utilities.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sustainability labels can help support consumers select more socially and environmentally friendly options, thereby enhancing returns for conscientious producers and promoting the transition to a more sustainable food system. However, consumer confusion regarding labels' meaning undermines their effectiveness.

Evaluating Urban Park Utility in Seoul: A Distance-to-Area Discounting Model
LandThis study proposes a novel method to assess urban park accessibility by incorporating perceived utility based on both park area and distance. Departing from conventional models that treat accessibility as a function of geometric proximity alone, we ...

A theory of endogenous time preference, and discounted utility anomalies [PDF]
We explain essentially all known discounted utility anomalies as artefacts of the optimizing behavior of an individual with a time- separable utility function, who perceives a good as a source of a stochastic consumption stream, and believes that she can

Risk averse asymptotics in a Black-Scholes market on a finite time horizon [PDF]
, 2018 We consider the optimal investment and consumption problem in a Black-Scholes market, if the target functional is given by expected discounted utility of consumption plus expected discounted utility of terminal wealth. We investigate the behaviour of the
