Read this paper later: procrastination with time-consistent preferences
A model of time-consistent procrastination is developed to assess the extent to which the observed behavior is compatible with rational behavior. When a finite work requirement must be completed by a deadline, the remaining time for leisure is an exhaustible resource. With a positive rate of time preference, the optimal allocation of this resource results in more hours spent working (and fewer ...
متن کاملTime-Consistent Majority Rules with Interdependent Preferences
This paper studies a collective decision problem in which a group of individuals with interdependent preferences vote whether or not to implement a project of unknown value. A utilitarian social planner aggregates these votes according to a majority rule; but, unlike what is commonly assumed in the literature, the planner is unable to commit to the rule before votes are cast. Characterizing the...

The induced preference reversals are justified on the basis of a normative interpretation that reconciles consequentialism with adequate forms of choice consistency. We conclude that preferences need not, and in some contexts even should not be recursive, thus confirming the intuition of...

In this paper, we use a combination of lab, field, and survey evidence to study whether these two types of behavior are indeed linked. To measure immediacy we ha...
