Dynamic Consistency in Denmark: A Longitudinal Field Experiment
Evidence that individuals have dynamically consistent preferences is usually generated by studying the discount rates of the individual over different horizons, but where those rates are elicited at a single point in time. If these elicited discount rates vary by horizon the individual is typically claimed to have preferences that imply a dynamic inconsistency, although this inference requires ...
متن کاملEstimating Individual Discount Rates in Denmark: A Field Experiment
Discount rates are often used in cost-benefit analysis. Whenever costs and benefits for a household or individual are spread over time, it is essential that one calculate present-value equivalents in order to undertake meaningful comparisons. In most cases welfare analysts use market rates as the basis for these present-value calculations. Sensitivity analysis often consists of varying the scal...
متن کاملEstimating Risk Attitudes in Denmark: A Field Experiment
We estimate individual risk attitudes using controlled experiments in the field in Denmark. These risk preferences are elicited by means of field experiments involving real monetary rewards. The experiments were carried out across Denmark using a representative sample of 253 people between 19 and 75 years of age. Risk attitudes are estimated for various individuals differentiated by socio-demog...
متن کاملCooperation in a dynamic fishing game: A framed field experiment
We derive a dynamic theoretical model that tests the social optimum and selfish Nash equilibrium of a renewable resource, a stock of fish. In the social optimum, maximum fishing effort is observed in the last period only. The predictions are tested at a recreational fishing pond. The subjects, experienced recreational fishermen, are placed in groups of four and face a dynamic social dilemma. Th...
متن کاملIndividual discount rates and smoking: evidence from a field experiment in Denmark.
We elicit measures of individual discount rates from a representative sample of the Danish population and test two substantive hypotheses. The first hypothesis is that smokers have higher individual discount rates than non-smokers. The second hypothesis is that smokers are more likely to have time inconsistent preferences than non-smokers, where time inconsistency is indicated by a hyperbolic d...
