The Effect of a Constant or a Declining Discount Rate on Optimal Investment Timing [PDF]
This paper shows that exponential discounting may have anadvancing effect on the timing of investment, not captured bysensitivity analysis carried out for the complete range of instantaneous discount rates implicit in declining discounting.Declining ...

A Deeper Look at Hyperbolic Discounting
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

Using DSGE and Machine Learning to Forecast Public Debt for France
Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forecasting public debt is essential for effective policymaking and economic stability, yet traditional approaches face challenges due to data scarcity. While machine learning (ML) has demonstrated success in financial forecasting, its application to macroeconomic forecasting remains underexplored, hindered by short historical time series and ...

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.

Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Even though data on hospital admissions are widely used in health research, hospitalization‐related estimands measured using these data are not always clearly conceptualized. Consequently, estimators of these quantities can have unclear rationales and undesirable properties.
