No full textA consistent relaxation of the consumption invariant rate in the discounted-utility model
Full text linkThe main theoretical contribution of this paper is a mechanical result that relates growth rates across n commodities. We examplify through a 2-commodity economy of health and money where the results of current health economic theory are confirmed using this technology. The applications are, however, broad; both with regards to spacial discount rates by making relevant assumptions about interpersonal/international comparability and to sustainable growth by envisioning scenarios for the future
A probabilistic theory for intertemporal indifference
Full text linkThis paper provides a closed form distribution for the probability of intertemporal indifference between a certain quantity of a commodity now, Q q ( ) 0 0 = , and some future quantity QT q ( ) = at time t = T assuming a discount weight, w T( )∈(0,1)
