Impatience as Intertemporal Egoism
We build on a philosophical account of personal identity (Parfit, 1984) which argues that the degree of concern one has for one’s future self may be scaled by the degree of “psychological connectedness”—overlap in properties such as beliefs, values, and ideals—held between one’s current and future self. We pose participants with tradeoffs between consuming a benefit in the near future versus co...
متن کاملMeasuring Impatience in Intertemporal Choice
In general terms, decreasing impatience means decreasing discount rates. This property has been usually referred to as hyperbolic discounting, although there are other discount functions which also exhibit decreasing discount rates. This paper focuses on the measurement of the impatience associated with a discount function with the aim of establishing a methodology to compare this characteristi...
متن کاملCommon learning with intertemporal dependence
Consider two agents who learn the value of an unknown parameter by observing a sequence of private signals. Will the agents commonly learn the value of the parameter, i.e., will the true value of the parameter become approximate common-knowledge? If the signals are independent and identically distributed across time (but not necessarily across agents), the answer is yes (Cripps, Ely, Mailath, a...
متن کاملPropranolol reduces reference-dependence in intertemporal choice
In intertemporal choices between immediate and delayed rewards, people tend to prefer immediate rewards, often even when the delayed reward is larger. This is known as temporal discounting. It has been proposed that this tendency emerges because immediate rewards are more emotionally arousing than delayed rewards. However, in our previous research, we found no evidence for this but instead foun...
متن کاملWalking dynamics of intertemporal choice
The notion that cognitive processes ”leak” into motor output of decisions inspired much recent process-tracing research. In mouse-tracking, an increasingly popular decision-making paradigm, difficult choices lead to increased curvature of the mouse trajectories towards the unchosen option. Here we explore whether traces of a decision process can be found in its motor output in a more naturalist...
