Do It Today or Do It Tomorrow: Empirical Non-exponential Discounting Explained by Symmetry Ideas

open access: closedInternational Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling, 2018
At first glance, it seems to make sense to conclude that when a 1 dollar reward tomorrow is equivalent to a ...

Non-Exponential Discounting: A Direct Test [PDF]

open access: closed, 2008
Standard models of intertemporal utility maximization under uncertainty assume that agents discount future utility flows at a constant compounded rate—exponential discounting. Euler equations estimated over different time horizons should have equal discount rates. They do not.

Long-Run Impulse Control with Generalized Discounting

SIAM Journal of Control and Optimization, 2023
In this paper, we investigate the effects of applying generalised (non-exponential) discounting on a long-run impulse control problem for a Feller-Markov process.

Time-inconsistent discounting and the Friedman rule: roles of non-unitary discounting

Oxford Economic Papers, 2018
We examine the optimality of the Friedman rule by considering recent development of behavioral economics. We construct a simple macroeconomic model where agents discount consumption and leisure at different rates.

Reinforcement Learning with Non-Exponential Discounting

Commonly in reinforcement learning (RL), rewards are discounted over time using an exponential function to model time preference, thereby bounding the expected long-term reward. In contrast, in economics and psychology, it has been shown that humans often adopt a hyperbolic discounting scheme, which is optimal when a specific task termination time ...
