It’s about time: Specific and unspecific effects of episodic future thinking on farsighted decisions
No full textHumans tend to discount the value of delayed rewards. As a consequence, they forego larger long-term benefits (e.g., €29 in 91 days) in favor of smaller short-term gains (e.g., €20 now). Episodic future thinking (EFT) attenuates such delay discounting. That is, people are more likely to choose a larger but delayed reward after imagining an episode at the future time point (e.g., a café visit in 91 days). We here elucidate the underlying mechanism by examining the temporal specificity of this effect. Does EFT foster farsighted decisions in general by shifting the mental focus towards the future, or does it specifically influence decisions in favor of the imagined time point? In two experiments (n=84 total) we systematically varied the concordance between the imagined time point and the delay at which the larger reward could be received. When these time points matched, we replicated the beneficial effect of EFT (Experiments 1 and 2). Critically, when the imagined time point matched the sooner of two delayed choice options, the effect was reversed: Choices became more impulsive (Experiment 1). When the imagined delay was double the delay of the larger option, the effect was not significant and numerically lower than when the delays matched (Experiment 2). Notably, more vivid imaginations were associated with more farsighted choices at longer delays, irrespective of whether the imagined time point matched the delayed choice. Together, the data demonstrate that both temporally specific and unspecific mechanisms contribute to the impact of EFT on delay discounting
Impact of Reward on Associative Memory Consolidation.
No full textIt is undoubtedly adaptive to remember what is relevant and to forget what is seemingly unimportant. Indeed, monetary reward during incidental encoding has repeatedly been shown to selectively improve memory both immediately after encoding (Gruber et al., 2016; Mather & Schoeke, 2011; Murty & Adcock, 2014; Wittmann et al., 2008) and after a delay that involves overnight sleep (Loh et al., 2016; Murty et al., 2017; Wittmann et al., 2008). Only few studies, however, have systematically investigated how reward affects memories following a delay period that would allow for consolidation to take place (Murayama & Kitagami, 2014; Murayama & Kuhbandner, 2011; Patil et al., 2017). In this study, participants will get rewarded during the incidental encoding of object - context associations. On most trials, the reward will be greater in one half of the contexts than in the other. We investigate the hypotheses that there is a greater beneficial effect on higher rewards following a delay of 24 h than immediately after encoding. We further hypothesize that, after the delay, memories would also profit that haven’t been directly highly rewarded but that are associated with contexts that typically lead to greater rewards

Household savings in transition economies
No full textDuring the transition from central planning to market economies now under way in Eastern Europe, output levels first collapsed by 40 to 50 percent in most countries, then staged a modest recovery in the last two years. Longer-term revival of growth requires a resumption of investment and thus, realistically, of domestic savings. To explore the determinants of household savings rates in transition economies, the authors studies matching household surveys for three Central European economies: Bulgaria, Hungary, and Poland. They find that savings rates strongly increase with relative income, suggesting that increasing income inequality may play a role in determining savings rates. Savings rates are significantly higher for households that do not own their homes or that own few of the standard consumer durables-possibly because, with no retail credit or mortgage markets, households must save to purchase houses and durables. The influence of demographic factors broadly matches earlier findings for developing countries. Perhaps surprisingly, variables associated with the household's position in the transition process-including either sector of employment (public or private) or form of employment-do not play a significant role in determining savings rates.Environmental Economics&Policies,Services&Transfers to Poor,Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Safety Nets and Transfers,Rural Poverty Reduction,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research
