Discounting the Discounted Projection Approach [PDF]
UK equity release actuaries are using a flawed approach to value the no-negative equity guarantees in their equity release mortgages. The approach they use, the Discounted Projection approach, incorrectly uses projected future house prices as the underlying prices in their put option pricing equations.

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 Disentangled [PDF]
The economic values of investing in long-term public projects are highly sensitive to the social discount rate (SDR). We surveyed over 200 experts to disentangle disagreement on the risk-free SDR into its component parts, including pure time preference, the wealth effect, and return to capital.

Which rates should we use to discount costs and benefits of different natures at different time horizons? We answer this question by considering a representative agent consuming two goods whose availability evolves over time in a stochastic way. We extend the Ramsey rule by taking into account the degree of substitutability between the two goods and of

Dealers can trade over the counter (OTC), either bilaterally or via brokers, as well as on an exchange.

AbstractDiscount is the difference between the face value of a bond and its present value. We propose an arbitrage-free dynamic framework for discount models, which provides an alternative to the Heath–Jarrow–Morton framework for forward rates. We derive general consistency conditions for factor models, and discuss affine term structure models in ...
