Abstract

Building on research on dynamic inconsistency and age related preferences; this paper introduces the concept that inconsistent intertemporal preferences are directly related to age.The findings from observations of a large sample of college graduates indicate that emerging adults are more likely to exhibit hyperbolic discounting behavior than adults over the age of 30.Among emerging adults respondents, lower incomes and more naïve self-assessments are determinants of hyperbolic discounting behavior.
