Characterizing the Jellinek curve using a discounting model with time deformations
This paper deals with the relationship between addiction/self-control and discount rates. In effect, it can be shown that the evaluation of temporal discounting is a candidate behavioral marker for addiction. More specifically, high discount rates are associated with several unhealthy behaviors (drinking, smoking and taking drugs, among them). There are also empirical studies that used a measure of delay discounting in order to predict abstinence…
Decision theory for sustainable rehabilitation: Managing uncertainty and group choice to improve health conditions, well-being, and social inclusion
Exploring intertemporal decision-making dynamics through functional data analysis: Investigating variations in different discount function's dimensions
Intertemporal preferences are closely related to essential aspects of an individual’s emotional and cognitive domains. Discount functions are used to quantify these preferences, which can help us understand conditions such as addiction, depression, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, traditional parametric models are limited when dealing with intertemporal preferences, mainly when behavioural biases are involved. This st…
The Lost MIS 11c Mammalian Fauna from Via dell’Impero (Rome, Italy)
This research presents an in-depth analysis of large mammal remains first discovered in 1932 in the archaeological area of ancient Rome, central Italy, during the work for the opening of Via dell’Impero (VFI). This work describes the faunal assemblage, its current preservation status, and uses tephrochronology to assess its age. Additionally, it provides paleoecological insights into the evolution of the mammalian fauna in Latium, central Italy, …
An Updated Review of The Quaternary Hippopotamus Fossil Records from the Iberian Peninsula
This work presents a comprehensive review of the Quaternary fossil records of hippopotamuses from the Iberian Peninsula, unveiling biogeographical insights of global significance. The results presented herein include the inference of a delayed arrival of Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus antiquus) populations onto the Iberian Peninsula compared to other European Mediterranean regions, with an estimated age of ca. 1.7 Ma, in contrast to 2.1–2.2 Ma elsewh…
The Middle Pleistocene Hippopotamus from Malagrotta (Latium, Italy): New Data and Future Perspectives
The Middle Pleistocene was characterized by the presence in continental Europe of at least two different species of hippopotamus: Hippopotamus antiquus and H. amphibius. Although suspected, the presence of both hippopotamuses in the same geographical area has not yet been proven. The following manuscript describes findings from Malagrotta (Rome, central Italy), dating back to the time span between 0.45 and 0.38 Ma. These findings offer new insigh…
An analysis of intertemporal inconsistency through the hyperbolic factor
Intertemporal choices play a fundamental role in the lives of individuals, and the Discounted Utility model is the essential framework for describing decision makers’ attitudes in front of alternatives structured over multiple periods. The classical formulation of the model assumes constant preferences over time, i.e., it assumes that individuals’ choices are consistent. Empirical evidence, however, shows that individuals’ preferences do not resp…
Subjective perception of time and decision inconsistency in interval effect
The interval effect refers to the phenomenon in which the discount rate decreases as the interval considered increases. It represents one of the many anomalies of the decision-making process in the context of intertemporal choices. This paper suggests that the latter anomaly is due to the perceived time and emotional drives involved in the moment of choice and their interaction. The study is developed through a direct comparison between empirical…
