Markov decision processes with quasi-hyperbolic discounting

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Finance and Stochastics"

DOI: 10.1007/s00780-020-00443-2

Abstract: We study Markov decision processes with Borel state spaces under quasi-hyperbolic discounting. This type of discounting nicely models human behaviour, which is time-inconsistent in the long run. The decision maker has preferences changing in time.… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Theory and Decision"

DOI: 10.1007/s11238-018-09683-3

Abstract: In this paper, we present a time-varying and non-stationary but non-hyperbolic discount function that explains dynamic preference reversal. The new discount function emerges from an analysis of intertemporal consumption and savings choices with mortality risk… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Economics Letters"

DOI: 10.1016/j.econlet.2017.03.031

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.

Be Patient When Measuring Hyperbolic Discounting: Stationarity, Time Consistency and Time Invariance in a Field Experiment

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Development Economics"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jdeveco.2016.12.011

Abstract: Hyperbolic discounting is one potential reason why savings remain low among the poor. Most evidence of hyperbolic discounting is based on violations of either stationarity or time consistency. Stationarity is violated when intertemporal choices differ… read more here.

Value and patience: The value premium in a dividend-growth model with hyperbolic discounting

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jebo.2020.01.028

Abstract: Abstract We show that in a consumption-based asset-pricing model with hyperbolic discounting - leading to dynamically inconsistent time preferences - the value premium increases nonlinearly with the degree of discounting and thus affects the cross… read more here.
