Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of intertemporal preferences, exploring how individuals make choices about consumption over time. The author argues that traditional models fail to adequately capture the dynamic nature of these preferences, particularly the tendency for individuals to substitute consumption across nearby dates. To address this shortcoming, the book introduces a novel family of preference topologies that more accurately reflect the interplay between time and preferences. These topologies are mathematically well-behaved and allow for preferences that exhibit a trade-off between delaying or advancing consumption for increasingly shorter periods. The author demonstrates how these preferences lead to surprising insights into optimal consumption behavior. For instance, optimal consumption plans may involve periods of no consumption followed by periods of rapid consumption, a pattern not predicted by traditional models. Overall, this book offers a significant contribution to the study of intertemporal preferences. Its innovative approach and thought-provoking insights challenge conventional wisdom and provide a deeper understanding of how individuals make consumption decisions over time.
