Stability and individual variability of social attachment in imprinting
Scientific Reports, 2021 Filial imprinting has become a model for understanding memory, learning and social behaviour in neonate animals. This mechanism allows the youngs of precocial bird species to learn the characteristics of conspicuous visual stimuli and display affiliative

A Resource Extraction Model with Technology Adoption under Time Inconsistent Preferences
Mathematics, 2021 A two-stage non-standard optimal control problem with time inconsistent preferences is studied. In an infinite horizon setting, a time consistent (sophisticated) decision maker chooses the time of switching between two consecutive regimes.

Time Preferences and Bargaining [PDF]
Econometrica, 2018 This paper presents an analysis of general time preferences in the canonical Rubinstein (1982) model of bargaining, allowing for arbitrarily history-dependent strategies. I derive a simple sufficient structure for optimal punishments and thereby fully characterize (i) the set of equilibrium outcomes for any given preference profile, and (ii) the set of

Time Preferences, Illness, and Death
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 This paper investigates the power of time preference to predict illness and premature mortality in adulthood. Using a unique Swedish cohort of 12,956 individuals born in 1953, interviewed in 1966, and followed with register data up to 2018, the paper reports that more patient adolescents are 17-21% less likely to die before the age of 65 years.

Visual Continuous Time Preferences
Frontiers in Behavioral Economics, 2023 We introduce the Visual Continuous Time Preferences (VCTP) task, a new tool for measuring time preferences that synthesizes the simplicity of Multiple Price List (MPL) and the precision of Convex Time Budget (CTB) tasks thanks to the use of a simple visualization.

Risk Preferences, Time Preferences, and Smoking Behavior
Southern Economic Journal, 2018 There is a rich theoretical literature in economics which models habit‐forming behaviors, of which addiction is the exemplar, but there is a paucity of experimental economic studies eliciting and comparing the preferences that economic theory suggests may differ between addicts and nonaddicts.

Managers’ risk and time preferences in economic behavior: Review from the experiments
Journal of International Economics and Management, 2019 This survey reviews the recent developments in experimental studies on managers’ preferences, with a focus on issues of experimental design. We concentrate our attention on studies that measure risk and time preferences.
