DOI: 10.1007/s00199-018-1166-0
Abstract: This article establishes a dynamic programming argument for a maximin optimization problem where the agent completes a minimization over a set of discount rates. Even though the consideration of a maximin criterion results in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11238-020-09747-3
Abstract: Discounted utility theory and its generalizations (e.g., quasihyperbolic discounting, generalized hyperbolic discounting) use discount functions for weighting utilities of outcomes received in different time periods. We propose a new simple test of convexity–concavity of discount… read more here.

Abstract: We prove an analogue of Weitzman’s (1998) famous result that an exponential discounter who is uncertain of the appropriate exponential discount rate should discount the far-distant future using the lowest (i.e., most patient) of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foodqual.2016.09.002
Abstract: Abstract We compare willingness-to-pay information revealed through bids of the Becker–DeGroot–Marschak (BDM) auction mechanism with inferred valuations and real market prices. Applying nine food products, in three different experiments in which individuals express both bids… read more here.
