NOTES ON DISCOUNTING [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2006
In general, if a variable can be expressed as a function of its own maximum value, that function may be called a discount function. Delay discounting and probability discounting are commonly studied in psychology, but memory, matching, and economic utility also may be viewed as discounting processes.

Ecological discounting [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Economic Theory, 2010
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

Discounts for Lack of Marketability: Are Business Appraisers Discounting the Discounts?

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
We set out to understand the size of DLOMs by comparing the subject of the discounts, privately held companies, to the bases from which discounts should be applied. These relevant bases include publicly traded firms considered as guideline public companies and public market benchmarks from which cost of capital data are obtained.

Discounting Discounting

Journal of Public Policy, 1982
ABSTRACTPolicy analysts typically presume that future payoffs should be discounted relative to present ones, and that this discounting should proceed at the same rate for all goods and all periods. Closer inspection of four arguments for discounting, however, shows these practices to be problematic.

Social discounting and delay discounting

Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, 2007
AbstractSocial discounting was measured as the amount of money a participant was willing to forgo to give a fixed amount (usually $75) to another person. In the first experiment, amount forgone was a hyperbolic function of the social distance between the giver and receiver.

Optimal Discounting

Econometrica, 2022
The agent is modeled as a current self that optimally incurs a cognitive cost of empathizing with future selves. The model unifies well‐known experimental and empirical findings in intertemporal choice and enriches the multiple selves model with a notion of self‐control.

Social Discounting

Psychological Science, 2006
The amount of money a person was willing to forgo in order to give $75 to another person decreased as a hyperbolic function of the perceived social distance between them. Similar hyperbolic functions have previously been shown to describe both time and probability discounting.

The Liquidity Discount

Mathematical Finance, 2001
This paper characterizes the liquidity discount, the difference between the market value of a trader's position and its value when liquidated. This discount occurs whenever traders face downward sloping demand curves for shares and execution lags in selling shares. This characterization enables one to modify the standard value at risk (VaR) computation
