摘要

The DU model, which continues to be widely used by economists, has little empirical support. Even its developers―Samuelson, who originally proposed the model, and Koopmans, who provided the first axiomatic derivation―had concerns about its descriptive realism, and it was never empirically validated as the appropriate model for intertemporal choice. Indeed, virtually every core and ancillary assumption of the DU model has been called into question by empirical evidence collected in the past two decades. The insights from this empirical research have spawned new theories of intertemporal choice that revive many of the psychological considerations discussed by early students of intertemporal choice―considerations that were effectively dismissed with the introduction of the DU model. Additionally, some of the most recent theories show that intertemporal behaviors may be dramatically influenced by people's level of understanding of how their preferences change―by their "metaknowledge" about their preferences (see, e.g., O'Donoghue and Rabin 1999b; Loewenstein, O'Donoghue, and Rabin 2000).
