Temptation and Self-Control [PDF]

Econometrica, 2001
Summary: We study a two-period model where ex ante inferior choice may tempt the decision-maker in the second period. Individuals have preferences over sets of alternatives that represent second period choices. Our axioms yield a representation that identifies the individual's commitment ranking, temptation ranking, and cost of self-control.

Collective Self-Control [PDF]

American Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2012
Behavioral economics presents a “paternalistic” rationale for a benevolent government's intervention. We consider an economy where the only “distortion” is agents' time-inconsistency. We study the desirability of various forms of collective action, ones pertaining to costly commitment and ones pertaining to the timing of consumption, when government ...

An MCM-Enhanced Compressive Sensing for Weak Fault Feature Extraction of Rolling Element Bearings under Variable Speeds

Shock and Vibration, 2020
The compressive sensing (CS) theory provides a new slight to the big-data problem led by the Shannon sampling theorem in rolling element bearings condition monitoring, where the measurement matrix of CS tends to be designed by the random matrix (RM) to ...

The skill of self-control [PDF]

Synthese, 2020
Researchers often claim that self-control is a skill, an ability that threads cognitive and motivational processes together to achieve commitment-concordant action in the face of contrary motivations. It is also often stated that self-control exertions are intentional actions.

The evolution of self-control [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Although scientists have identified surprising cognitive flexibility in animals and potentially unique features of human psychology, we know less about the selective forces that favor cognitive evolution, or the proximate biological mechanisms underlying this process.
