Temporal discounting in adolescents and adults with Tourette syndrome.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with hyperactivity in dopaminergic networks. Dopaminergic hyperactivity in the basal ganglia has previously been linked to increased sensitivity to positive reinforcement and increases in ...

Discounting Environmental Goods
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2018 Understanding individual discounting behavior of future costs and benefits is critical for designing environmental policy. Although there is some empirical evidence of hyperbolic discounting, others have found that exponential discounting is more ...

Quantitative Cross-Cultural Similarities and Differences in Social Discounting for Gains and Losses
Frontiers in Public Health, 2019 Social discounting is when resource allocation decreases as social distance increases. Studies fitting different quantitative models to social discounting data have shown that a q-exponential function based on Tsallis' statistics best fits loss data ...

Hybrid Exponential‐Hyperbolic Discounting and Growth Without Commitment [PDF]
The Manchester School, 2017 We analyse the time‐consistent intertemporal behaviour of an individual who discounts the future hyperbolically (HD) in the absence of commitment. In continuous‐time, we extend Barro's (Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol. 114 (1999), pp. 1125–1152) analysis of a ‘sophisticated’ present‐bias in a deterministic setup and characterize consumption in an ...

A hyperbolic decay of subjective probability of obtaining delayed rewards
Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2007 Background Hyperbolic discounting of delayed and probabilistic outcomes has drawn attention in psychopharmacology and neuroeconomics. Sozou's evolutionary theory proposed that hyperbolic delay discounting may be totally attributable to aversion to a ...

Judgment and Decision Making, 2014 People tend to prefer smaller and sooner (SS) rewards over larger and later (LL) ones even when the latter are much larger. Previous research have identified several ways to enhance people’s patience.
