A Deeper Look at Hyperbolic Discounting [PDF]
We conduct an experiment to investigate the degree to which deviations from exponential discounting can be accounted for by the hypothesis of hyperbolic discounting. Subjects are asked to choose between an earlier or later payoff in a series of 40 choice

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

ECONOMIC CORRECTION OF CURRENT DENSITIES IN THE WIRES OF THE EXISTING OVERHEAD LINES OF 110-220 KV
Известия высших учебных заведений: Проблемы энергетики, 2019 In this article, we present the methods used to date, the choice of the cross-sections of the wires of overhead transmission lines, taking into account not only the losses from the load currents, but also the corona losses and linear insulation of ...

Does a Specialized Niche Market Vegetable Processor Enjoy Bargaining Power?
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agribusiness companies may achieve competitive advantage through specialization within niche markets. One such niche is the fresh‐cut fruit and vegetable market, which has been steadily growing in Germany. This study examines whether the specialization of a German fresh‐cut producer grants it with market power within this niche market.

Impact of size and delay on neural activity in the rat limbic corticostriatal system
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011 A number of factors influence an animal’s economic decisions. Two most commonly studied are the magnitude of and delay to reward. To investigate how these factors are represented in the firing rates of single neurons, we devised a behavioral task that ...

Hyperbolic Discounting can represent Consistent Preferences [PDF]
Among non Exponential Discounting (ED) models, introduced to capture time inconsistent choices, Hyperbolic Discounting (HD) recently gained particular relevance.

Discounted-Sum Automata with Multiple Discount Factors
Logical Methods in Computer ScienceDiscounting the influence of future events is a key paradigm in economics and it is widely used in computer-science models, such as games, Markov decision processes (MDPs), reinforcement learning, and automata. While a single game or MDP may allow for several different discount factors, nondeterministic discounted-sum automata (NDAs) were only studied ...

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

Gamification and motivation: Impact on delay discounting performance.
PLoS ONEDelay discounting is a phenomenon strongly associated with impulsivity. However, in order for a measured discounting rate in an experiment to meaningfully generalize to choices made elsewhere in life, participants must provide thoughtful, engaged answers
