Resilience in a noisy urban system
Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The ability of cities to recuperate from disturbances and return to their evolutionary pathways depends, first and foremost, on the type of damage that the shock created. But in addition, it depends on how information is transmitted in the urban system and on how noise filters distort the information that reaches economic agents.

Characterizing the Jellinek curve using a discounting model with time deformations
Humanities & Social Sciences CommunicationsThis paper deals with the relationship between addiction/self-control and discount rates. In effect, it can be shown that the evaluation of temporal discounting is a candidate behavioral marker for addiction.

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

Testable Implications of Quasi-Hyperbolic and Exponential Time Discounting [PDF]
, 2014 We present the first revealed-preference characterizations of the models of exponential time discounting, quasi-hyperbolic time discounting, and other time-separable models of consumers’ intertemporal decisions.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

How good is the Exponential Function discounting Formula? An Experimental Study [PDF]
This paper estimates the degree of the exponential-function misvaluation, its variation with given product price level, and its expected growth rate. The paper examines whether other mathematical functions, such as linear, quadratic and cubic functions ...

A Flexible Test for Present Bias and Time Preferences Using Land-Lease Contracts [PDF]
When agents have present bias, they discount more between now and the next period than between period t (> 1) and t + 1. How fast the future discount rate (evaluated today) decays is an empirical question.

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a tractable model of asymmetric platform oligopoly with logit demand in which users from two distinct groups are subject to within‐group and cross‐group network effects and decide which platform to join. We characterize the equilibrium when platforms manage user access by setting participation fees for each user group.

Peanuts effect in intertemporal decision-making processes.
INFAD, 2017 The intertemporal choice refers to the individual decision-making process when analyzing the preferences between two rewards with different due dates. That is to say, it aims to analyze the preferences between two rewards (x1,t1) and (x2,t2) , where x1x2

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit
