The topics include over-eating and obesity, over-spending, over-borrowing, under-saving, procrastination, smoking, gambling, over-drinking, and other intemperate behaviors, all of which relate to serious social problems in advanced countries...In this book, the author attempts to construct a bridge between the basic theory of time discounting, especially as of hyperbolic discounting, and empirically observed “irrational (non-classical)” behavior in the various contexts just mentioned. The empirical validity of the theory is discussed using unique micro data as well as public macro data. The book proposes prescriptions for individual decision makers, whether sophisticated or naïve, to make better choices in self-control problems, and also provides policy makers with useful advice for influencing people’s decision making in the right directions. ..This work is recommended not only to general readers who seek to learn how to attain better self-reg | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Behavioral economics; Decision making; Hyperbolic discounting; Self Control; Time inconsistency | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-55793-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-56694-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-55793-7Series ISSN 2197-8859 Series E-ISSN 2197-8867 | issn_series | 2197-8859 | copyright | Springer Japan 2016 |
