On the Foundations of Intertemporal Choice
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1978In this paper, we consider intertemporal choice from an axiomatic perspective. By doing so, it is possible to discuss intertemporal choice rules in terms of the properties that characterize them. The long term hope of this approach is to interpret and select intertemporal choice rules that satisfy some axioms describing fairness of efficiency. Concepts

Anomalies in Intertemporal Choice?
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007This paper argues that observations of non-stationary choice behavior need not necessarily imply specific properties of the individual's discount function. As we show, the observed "anomalies" in intertemporal choice can alternatively be explained by an individual's perception of the risk that is involved whenever an outcome is to be received in the ...

Empirical determinants of intertemporal choice [PDF]
Journal of Financial Economics, 2015 Abstract We provide new evidence on the empirical determinants of intertemporal financial decisions. We use an exogenously imposed choice affecting nearly all Croatian retirees to study characteristics associated with choosing a larger, deferred stream of payments over a smaller, more immediate payment.

Understanding intertemporal choices
Applied Economics, 2006Previous experimental results show clearly that many subjects do not optimize when solving a life-cycle consumption problem. What do they do? This paper attempts to resolve this question, looking at the discounting, hyperbolic and rolling models as possible explanations.

A Clark’s nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana) flies to the top of a pine tree and selects one of the many cones. She twists and pecks at the stem until the cone breaks free from the branch and, with one foot, holds the cone in the crotch of a branch. She then repeatedly hammers her long bill in between the scales of the cone.

The neural predictors of choice preference in intertemporal choice
Brain Research, 2012Intertemporal choice may involve two processing stages: a valuation stage and a choice stage. Decision makers must integrate the various dimensions of an option (e.g., money, time) into a single measure of its subjective value (the valuation stage) and then choose the option that is the most valuable (the choice stage).

Intertemporal choice in Parkinson's disease
Movement Disorders, 2011AbstractThe administration of dopamine agonists in Parkinson's disease has been associated with impulse control disorders, in particular, pathological gambling. In the present investigation, 17 patients with Parkinson's disease without impulse control disorders and 17 matched control participants were offered choices between monetary rewards (ranging ...

Habits and the Anomalies in Intertemporal Choice
Management Science, 1997This paper analyzes a model of discounted utility under habit formation. Habit formation means that utility in each period is determined by the difference between the received outcome and the customary outcome at that point in time. Preferences are rational, in the sense that the decision maker correctly anticipates the habit formation process and ...

Is Intertemporal Choice Theory Testable?
Journal of Mathematical Economics, 2004Kreps–Porteus preferences constitute a widely used alternative to time separability. We showin this paper that with these preferences utility maximization does not impose any observable restrictions on a household’s savings decisions or on choices in good markets over time.
