The Malleability of Intertemporal Choice. [PDF]
Trends Cogn Sci, 2016 Intertemporal choices are ubiquitous: people often have to choose between outcomes realized at different times. Although it is generally believed that people have stable tendencies toward being impulsive or patient, an emerging body of evidence indicates that intertemporal choice is malleable and can be profoundly influenced by context.

Measuring Impatience in Intertemporal Choice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In general terms, decreasing impatience means decreasing discount rates. This property has been usually referred to as hyperbolic discounting, although there are other discount functions which also exhibit decreasing discount rates. This paper focuses on

Time, Self & Intertemporal Choice [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013 Neuroscientific studies of intertemporal choice (IC) have focused mainly on the neural representation of self-control mechanisms and valuation. This reflects what has been considered as the core of the IC phenomenon.

Intangibility in intertemporal choice [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 Since the advent of the discounted utility (DU) model, economists have thought about intertemporal choice in very specific terms. DU assumes that people make explicit trade-offs between costs and benefits occurring at different points in time.

Concentration Bias in Intertemporal Choice [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 Abstract Many intertemporal trade-offs are unbalanced: while the advantages of options are concentrated in a few periods, the disadvantages are dispersed over numerous periods. We provide novel experimental evidence for “concentration bias,” the tendency to overweight advantages that are concentrated in time.

Intertemporal choice in lemurs [PDF]
Behavioural Processes, 2012 Different species vary in their ability to wait for delayed rewards in intertemporal choice tasks. Models of rate maximization account for part of this variation, but other factors such as social structure and feeding ecology seem to underly some species differences.

Intertemporal Choice and Inequality [PDF]
Journal of Political Economy, 1994 The permanent income hypothesis implies that, for any cohort of people born at the same time, inequality in both consumption and income should grow with age. We investigate this prediction using cohort data constructed from 11 years of household survey data from the United States, 22 years from Great Britain, and 14 years from Taiwan.
