Tiivistelmä: | Studies of animal and human behaviour suggest that discount functions are approximately hyperbolic (Ainslie, Picoeconomics, 1992). Hyperbolic models explain a wide range of empirical anomalies. These models also provide a new framework for analyzing the welfare gains that come from pro-saving policies like social security and tax-deferred retirement accounts. |
