The impact of pandemic threats on intertemporal choices in Chinese and Americans

Scientific Reports
Intertemporal decisions are crucial to survival, especially when humans are exposed to ecological threats. However, it remains unclear whether and how pandemic threats impact intertemporal choices across cultures. We conducted two studies in two cultural

Past trauma and future choices: Differences in discounting in low-income, urban African Americans [PDF]

, 2018
BackgroundExposure to traumatic events is surprisingly common, yet little is known about its effect on decision making beyond the fact that those with post-traumatic stress disorder are more likely to have substance-abuse problems.

The Case of Fleeting Orders and Flickering Quotes

Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The literature controversially discusses the ambiguous motives and driving forces behind quickly cancelled limit orders (fleeting orders), which are characteristic of high‐frequency markets. In particular, manipulative and dysfunctional characteristics are feared. We analyze top‐of‐book fleeting orders—so‐called flickering quotes—and show with

Positive temporal dependence of the biological clock implies hyperbolic discounting

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011
Temporal preferences of animals and humans often exhibit inconsistencies, whereby an earlier, smaller reward may be preferred when it occurs immediately but not when it is delayed.

Sustainable Work and Employment in Social Care: New Challenges, New Priorities

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human Resource Management (HRM) research focused on social care is sparse. This gap is surprising given the scale of the social care workforce in many countries, its vital role in meeting the increasingly complex needs of vulnerable community groups, and the persistent challenges in recruiting and retaining staff.

Scaling With Bias? The Role of Founders' HR Knowledge and Experience in Hiring and Managerial Appointments

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New ventures are expected to continuously add new jobs and managerial positions to meet the expanding demands of scaling. However, the rapid pace and inherent uncertainty of scaling often lead founders of new ventures to rely on heuristics when making these critical hiring and managerial appointment decisions.

TOWARDS A GENERAL MODEL OF TEMPORAL DISCOUNTING

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2012
AbstractPsychological models of temporal discounting have now successfully displaced classical economic theory due to the simple fact that many common behavior patterns, such as impulsivity, were unexplainable with classic models. However, the now dominant hyperbolic model of discounting is itself becoming increasingly strained.

From Reactive to Proactive Volatility Modeling With Hemisphere Neural Networks

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We revisit maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for macroeconomic density forecasting through a novel neural network architecture with dedicated mean and variance hemispheres. Our architecture features several key ingredients making MLE work in this context.

Inter-temporal discounting and uniform impatience [PDF]

The uniform impatience hypothesis, a joint requirement on endowments and preferences, was imposed in the literature to prove equilibrium existence in infinite horizon sequential economies.

What Explains International Interest Rate Co‐Movement?

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The international co‐movement of interest rates reflects correlated business‐cycle fluctuations, largely driven by demand shocks. Monetary policy in advanced economies follows domestic mandates—inflation and the output gap—and does not respond to foreign policy shocks.
