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...

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 …
