Does sadness bring myopia: an intertemporal choice experiment with college students

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionWhile economics often interprets individual intertemporal choice preferences through the rationality assumption of utility maximization, the reality is that as emotional beings, individuals’ preferences for intertemporal behavior are much ...

Intertemporal substitution and nonhomothetic preferences [PDF]

Economics Letters, 2008
This study uses a model with nonseparable and nonhomothetic preferences to estimate the intertemporal elasticity of substitution (IES). We show that, while the assumption of homotheticity is strongly rejected, the estimated IES is positive and significant.

Endogenous Growth with Intertemporally Dependent Preferences [PDF]

Contributions in Macroeconomics, 2003
This paper presents an endogenous growth model with intertemporally dependent preferences and "Ak" technology. We derive sufficient conditions for a balanced growth path to be an equilibrium, provide a full characterization of the equilibrium dynamics of the economy, and explore the implications of habit formation for the patterns of cross-country ...

Preference reversal in intertemporal decision making

Frontiers in Psychology
This study examines asymmetric preference reversals in intertemporal decision-making by comparing gain and loss contexts across choice and bidding tasks. In the gain context, participants preferred smaller, sooner (SS) rewards in choice tasks but assigned higher valuations to larger, later (LL) rewards in bidding tasks. Conversely, in the loss context,

Social motives vs social influence: an experiment on interdependent time preferences [PDF]

, 2017
We report experimental evidence on the effects of social preferences on intertemporal decisions. To this aim, we design an intertemporal Dictator Game to test whether Dictators modify their discounting behavior when their own decision is imposed on their

The cancellation heuristic in intertemporal choice shifts people’s time preferences

Scientific Reports, 2022
Building on past research in risky decision making, the present research investigated whether the cancellation heuristic is evident in intertemporal choice. Specifically, the cancellation heuristic posits that whenever choice options are partitioned into

Assessing patience and predictivity validity for mixed sign intertemporal choices

Judgment and Decision Making
Most research on intertemporal choice has examined choices between smaller, sooner gains and larger, later gains. A much smaller number of papers have examined intertemporal choices for losses.

Effects of individual and dyadic decision-making and normative reference on delay discounting decisions

Cognitive Research, 2022
The tendency to devaluate delayed rewards, a phenomenon referred to as ‘discounting behaviour’, has been studied by wide-ranging research examining individuals choosing between sooner but smaller or later but larger rewards.

The effect of psychological distance on intertemporal choice of the reward processing: an eye-tracking investigation

Frontiers in Psychology
This study employed eye-tracking technology to investigate how varying dimensions of psychological distance–temporal, probability, and social–affect intertemporal choice.

Attribute latencies causally shape intertemporal decisions

Nature Communications
Intertemporal choices – decisions that play out over time – pervade our life. Thus, how people make intertemporal choices is a fundamental question.
