Discounting of Reward Sequences: a Test of Competing Formal Models of Hyperbolic Discounting

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
Humans are known to discount future rewards hyperbolically in time. Nevertheless, a formal recursive model of hyperbolic discounting has been elusive until recently, with the introduction of the hyperbolically discounted temporal difference (HDTD) model.

Decision makers often face choices between smaller more immediate rewards and larger more delayed rewards. For example, when foraging for food, animals must choose between actions that have varying costs (e.g., effort, duration, energy expenditure) and ...

Network formation by reinforcement learning: the long and medium run

open access: yes, 2003
We investigate a simple stochastic model of social network formation by the process of reinforcement learning with discounting of the past. In the limit, for any value of the discounting parameter, small, stable cliques are formed.

Discounting behavior: A reconsideration [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Economic Review, 2014
We re-evaluate the theory, experimental design and econometrics behind claims that individuals exhibit non-constant discounting behavior. Theory points to the importance of controlling for the non-linearity of the utility function of individuals, since the discount rate is defined over time-dated utility flows and not flows of money.
