We explain essentially all known discounted utility anomalies as artefacts of the optimizing behavior of an individual with a time-separable utility function, who perceives a good as a source of a stochastic consumption stream, and believes that she can wait for an optimal moment to buy or sell...

This paper studies repeated games with incomplete information on one side and equal discount factors for both players. The payoffs of the informed player I depend on one of two possible states of the world, which is known to her. The payoffs of the uninformed player U do not depend on the state...

In this paper I propose a time-consistent method of discounting hyperbolically that contains the discount rate implied … by Gamma discounting as a special case. I apply the discounting method to three canonical environmental problems: (i … with those for conventional exponential discounting using the normalization that both methods provide the same present …

economically realistic models have led to the application of various forms of economic discounting to the contested resource. This … paper investigates the application of a two-parameter economic discounting method, called generalized hyperbolic discounting …, and characterizes the game’s Nash equilibrium conditions. We prove that for agents discounting such that accumulated value …
