Management ScienceMany professional and educational settings require individuals to be willing and able to perform under time pressure. We use a laboratory experiment and survey data to study preferences for working under time pressure. We make three main contributions.

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.

BMC Public Health, 2018 Background The decision to initiate or maintain a healthy habit, such as physical activity involves a trade-off between a short-term cost, such as time and effort, which are commonly identified as barriers to physical activity, and a long-term health ...

Estimating the Factors That Explain Economists\u27 Time Preferences [PDF]
, 2016 Theory suggests that individuals’ characteristics, such as age and gender, may affect their rates of time preference. This paper empirically explores this “characteristic-time preference relationship.” Our sample is drawn from survey responses of ...

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.
