Subadditive versus hyperbolic discounting: a comparison of choice and matching

Article Abstract:

People are impatient for outcomes available immediately, and become increasingly more patient the more when the outcome is delayed, and such impulsive and myopic choices are often explained as hyperbolic discounting. Two methods are compared for measuring discounting to determine how much of the evidence for hyperbolic discounting is due to subaddivity.
