Intertemporal Substitution and Hyperbolic Discounting [PDF]

, 2006
Evidence from behavioural experiments suggests that intertemporal preferences reflect a hyperbolic discount function. This paper shows that in contrast to exponential discounting, the elasticity of intertemporal substitution for hyperbolic consumers ...

Guidelines for Scale Development and Validation

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scales, serving as measurement instruments composed of carefully designed items intended to capture latent constructs, play a critical role in advancing consumer theory and marketing practice. Yet, developing and validating scales poses a formidable challenge due to the diverse methods required to ensure rigor and robustness.

Cultural Similarities and Differences in Social Discounting: The Mediating Role of Harmony-Seeking

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
One’s generosity to others declines as a function of social distance, which is known as social discounting. We examined cultural similarities and differences in social discounting and the mediating roles of the two aspects of interdependence (self ...

Present-Biased Preferences and Publicly Provided Health Care [PDF]

In this paper, we analyze the welfare effects of publicly provided health care in an economy where the consumers have "present-biased" preferences due to quasi-hyperbolic discounting.

Blasting effects of cross‐fault deep‐buried excavation on adjacent existing tunnel stability

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the theoretical analysis of cylindrical wave propagation in a deep rock mass in the fault with a filling layer, the calculation method of peak particle velocity caused by wave propagation in the existing tunnel is established. The viscoelastic characteristics of a rock mass are examined in the analysis.

Four converging measures of temporal discounting and their relationships with intelligence, executive functions, thinking dispositions, and behavioral outcomes

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Temporal discounting is the tendency to devalue temporally distant rewards. Past studies have examined the k-value, the indifference point, and the area under the curve as dependent measures on this task.

THE NEOCLASSICAL GROWTH MODEL WITH HETEROGENOUS QUASI-GEOMETRIC CONSUMERS [PDF]

This paper studies how the assumption of quasi-geometric (quasi-hyperbolic) discounting affects the individual consumption-savings behavior in the context of the standard one-sector neoclassical growth model with heterogeneous agents.

Solar Energy in 2025: Global Deployment, Cost Trends, and the Role of Energy Storage in Enabling a Resilient Smart Energy Infrastructure

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This paper explores global solar PV deployment, cost trends, and grid integration challenges in 2025. It examines the role of energy storage in firming solar output and supporting electric vehicle (EV) growth, alongside policy shifts, investment flows, and technological innovations.
