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 ...

Global Warming and Hyperbolic Discounting [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003 The use of a constant discount rate to study long-lived environmental problems such as global warming has two disadvantages: The prescribed policy is sensitive to the discount rate, and with moderate discount rates, large future damages have almost no effect on current decisions.

Can We Really Observe Hyperbolic Discounting? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2002 This paper proposes a new, more robust, experiment to test for the presence of hyperbolic discounting. Recently, a growing literature has studied intertemporal choice when individuals discount the future hyperbolically. These preferences generate dynamically inconsistent choices, in contrast with the usual assumption of exponential discounting, where ...

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 ...

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 ...

Rats exhibit similar biases in foraging and intertemporal choice tasks
eLife, 2019 Animals, including humans, consistently exhibit myopia in two different contexts: foraging, in which they harvest locally beyond what is predicted by optimal foraging theory, and intertemporal choice, in which they exhibit a preference for immediate vs ...

Hyperbolic discounting and uniform savings floors [PDF]
Journal of Public Economics, 2007 Previous research suggests that, in partial equilibrium, individuals whose decision-making exhibits a present-bias--such as hyperbolic discounters who tend to over-consume--will be in favor of having a floor imposed on their savings. In this paper, I show it is quite difficult for the introduction of a savings floor to be Pareto-improving in general ...
