Hyperbolic discounting, a key determinant of intertemporal behavior, captures individuals' preferences for smaller immediate rewards over larger delayed ones. This study examined how hyperbolic discounting influences investment loss tolerance using a large-scale dataset of Japanese investors....

We study a discrete-time optimal growth model with endogenous discounting. The discount factor may depend on both consumption and the capital stock, and intertemporal utility is modeled as a discounted sum of instantaneous utilities, with the sum of discount factors equal to one. We show that...
