The Development of a Theory of Rational Intertemporal Choice [PDF]
Papers, 2006 The aim of this article is to describe the evolution of a very dynamic theory: the theory of intertemporal choice. I present the first economic thinking on intertemporal decision-making, and expose how it resulted in Samuelson’s famous discounted utility

Dopaminergic Modulation of Human Intertemporal Choice: A Diffusion Model Analysis Using the D2-Receptor Antagonist Haloperidol. [PDF]
J Neurosci, 2020 The neurotransmitter dopamine is implicated in diverse functions, including reward processing, reinforcement learning, and cognitive control. The tendency to discount future rewards over time has long been discussed in the context of potential ...

Age Differences in Intertemporal Choice: The Role of Task Type, Outcome Characteristics, and Covariates. [PDF]
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci, 2020 OBJECTIVES Prior research has revealed age differences in the preferred timing of monetary outcomes, but results are inconsistent across studies. The present study examined the role of task type, outcome characteristics, and a range of theoretically ...

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

Random Intertemporal Choice [PDF]
Journal of Economic Theory, 2018 We provide a theory of random intertemporal choice. Agents exhibit stochastic choice over consumption due to preference shocks to discounting attitudes. We first demonstrate how the distribution of these preference shocks can be uniquely identified from ...

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.

Optogenetic dissection of basolateral amygdala contributions to intertemporal choice in young and aged rats. [PDF]
Elife, 2019 Across species, aging is associated with an increased ability to choose delayed over immediate gratification. These experiments used young and aged rats to test the role of the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in intertemporal decision making.

Hypothetical Intertemporal Consumption Choices [PDF]
The Economic Journal, 2003 The paper extends and replicates part of the analysis by Barsky, Juster, Kimball, and Shapiro (1997), which exploits hypothetical choices among different consumption streams to infer intertemporal substitution elasticities and rates of time preference.We
