- Abstract:
- This paper addresses the measurement framework underlying experimental works on time discounting and the methodological reasons of the high variability of its empirical results. In particular, the paper discusses the argument that the variability of the results is due to the context-dependency of the processes that motivate people to display discounting behavior.
