      Holden, Stein T.; Tilahun, Mesfin; Sommervoll, Dag Einar (CLTS Working paper;08/20, Working paper, 2020)
      The appropriate way to empirically estimate time-dated utility and time preferences based on experimental data has been subject to controversy. Our study assesses whether within-subject magnitude treatments are more ...
