Time Preference

1996
Abstract There is broad agreement that, in cost-effectiveness analyses, all future costs and health consequences should be stated in terms of their “present value” to the decision maker. Only then will the interventions’ cost-effectiveness ratios be appropriately adjusted for the differential timing of costs and consequences so that ...

Time and Preferences

2018
OK, today I have just received as a gift something I always dreamed about, but given its cost, I never resolved to buy: a white truffle. I like it a lot, especially grated over Piedmont tagliolini (sort of egg-rich fresh pasta thinner than fettuccine). And I know that I have to eat it within a week. So, when will I eat my truffle?

Risk Preferences Are Not Time Preferences: Separating Risk and Time Preference: Comment

American Economic Review, 2015
Andreoni and Sprenger (2012a,b) observe that utility functions are distinct for risk and time preferences, and show that their findings are consistent with a preference for certainty.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
In the studies of decision making under risk and time, an increasingly important question is whether the utility representations should be the same for both circumstances. This study aims to test the separation between risk preference and time preference in a controlled laboratory setting, where subjects make intertemporal allocation decisions under ...

On the benefits of time-inconsistent preferences

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2019
Why are time-inconsistent preferences widespread among decision makers? This paper provides a possible explanation by showing that time-inconsistent preferences could be beneficial for decision makers that work together. Time-inconsistent preferences – which are usually blamed for having detrimental effects – can thus be advantageous for the ...
