The Malleability of Intertemporal Choice [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 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.

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.

New paradoxes in intertemporal choice [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2011 Similar to research on risky choice, the traditional analysis of intertemporal choice takes the view that an individual behaves so as to maximize the discounted sum of all future utilities.

Cultural neuroeconomics of intertemporal choice. [PDF]
Neuro endocrinology letters, 2008 According to theories of cultural neuroscience, Westerners and Easterners may have distinct styles of cognition (e.g., different allocation of attention). Previous research has shown that Westerners and Easterners tend to utilize analytical and holistic cognitive styles, respectively.

Intertemporal Choice and Consumption Mobility [PDF]
Journal of the European Economic Association, 2006 The theory of intertemporal consumption choice makes sharp predictions about the evolution of the entire distribution of household consumption, not just about its conditional mean. In the paper, we study the empirical transition matrix of consumption using a panel drawn from the Bank of Italy Survey of Household Income and Wealth.

Automatic biases in intertemporal choice [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2019 Dual process theories of intertemporal decision making propose that decision makers automatically favor immediate rewards. In this paper, we use a drift diffusion model to implement these theories, and empirically investigate the role of their proposed automatic biases.

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

Intertemporal choice as discounted value accumulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Two separate cognitive processes are involved in choosing between rewards available at different points in time. The first is temporal discounting, which consists of combining information about the size and delay of prospective rewards to represent ...

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.
