Tema: The Time of Intertemporal Choice
Deciding between acquiring a product now and saving the money for something more valuable in the future is a decision which may be frequent in one’s life, but at the same time far from being easy. Decisions involving tradeoffs amid cost and benefits over the time are referred as intertemporal choices. Experimental studies have shown that humans and other animal species are less attracted to delayed prizes than to immediate ones in an non-normative manner: there is an abrupt devaluation for smaller and sooner rewards while larger and later prizes tend to devaluate slowly over time. This inconsistency in discounting rate was attributed to non-linearity time perception or failure of self-control which results in impatience and impulsiveness. I will present in this lecture these two theories and the most recent empirical developments as well as future directions.
