The Magnitude and “Peanuts” Effects: Searching Implications
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2018 The framework of this paper is the field of decision-making processes in which people face the choice between probabilistic and dated rewards. Traditionally, the preferences for probabilistic outcomes have been analyzed by the Expected Utility (EU) model

Optimal Debt Ratio and Dividend Payment Policies for Insurers with Ambiguity
Mathematics, 2023 This study considers the optimal debt ratio and dividend payment policies for an insurer concerned about model misspecification. We assume that the insurer can invest all of its asset to the financial market and the ambiguity may exist in the risky asset.

The Development of a Theory of Rational Intertemporal Choice
Papers, 2006 The aim of this article is to describe the evolution of a very dynamic theory: the theory of intertemporal choice. I present the first economic thinking on intertemporal decision-making, and expose how it resulted in Samuelson’s famous discounted utility

Parametric Discounting Model of Utility
Procedia Economics and Finance, 2015 AbstractThe author derives a new concept of the model of the subject discounting of utility function or consumption on a theoretical basis. He surveys the formation and evolution of models for calculating the subjective discount factor (β). This paper focuses on the exponential and hyperbolic discounting utility model, which is among the current ...

The intertemporal choice behavior: the role of emotions in a multiagent decision problem
Ratio Mathematica, 2014 Traditional Discounted Utility Model assumes an exponential delay discount function, with a constant discount rate: this implies dynamic consistency and stationary intertemporal preferences.

A utility model for timber production based on different interest rates for loans and savings.
Silva Fennica, 1985 The paper discusses the evaluation of timber production policies with different income (timber drain) schedules. Special attention is given to the temporal smoothness of the income flow. A utility model is formulated in which the objective is to maximize

A Mathematical Analysis of the Improving Sequence Effect for Monetary Rewards
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2018 In this paper, we mathematically formalize the concept of improving sequence effect, which is one of the main anomalies of the discounted utility model [1].
