Strotz Meets Allais: Diminishing Impatience and the Certainty Effect: Comment
蝌蚪网 Review
(pp. 2271–75)
Abstract
Halevy (2008) states the equivalence between diminishing impatience (i.e., quasi-hyperbolic discounting) and the common ratio effect. The present paper shows that one way of the equivalence is false and shows the correct and general relationships: diminishing impatience is equivalent to the certainty effect and that strong diminishing impatience (i.e., hyperbolic discounting) is equivalent to the common ratio effect.
