• A discounting framework for choice with delayed and probabilistic rewards. (2004, methodology): “The finding that temporal discounting is better described by a hyperbola than by an exponential has been replicated in study after study (e.g., Green, Myerson, & McFadden, 1997; Kirby, 1997; Kirby & Maraković, 1995; Kirby & Santiesteban, 2003; Rachlin et al., 1991; Simpson & Vuchinich, 2000).”
• Area under the curve as a measure of discounting. (2001, result): “We have observed that in most, if not all, data sets (e.g., Green et al., 1997; Myerson & Green, 1995; Simpson & Vuchinich, 2000), the data from a number of individuals are poorly fit by a simple hyperbola.”
• Decision by sampling. (2006, background): “Just such a finding is reported by Myerson and Green (1995) and Simpson and Vuchinich (2000).”
• Delayed reward discounting and addictive behavior: a meta-analysis (2011, background): “Consistent with this notion, there is evidence that DRD has relatively high test–retest reliability over numerous time intervals, including 1 week (Baker et al. 2003; Simpson and Vuchinich 2000), 6 weeks (Beck and Triplett 2009), 2 months (Takahashi et al.”
• A delay-discounting primer. (2010, unknown): “…in human subjects (e.g., Green, Fry, & Myerson, 1994; Kirby, 1997; Ohmura, Takahashi, Kitamura, & Wehr, 2006; Rachlin, Raineri, & Cross, 1991; Simpson & Vuchinich, 2000) including individuals addicted to drugs (e.g., Bickel, Odum, & Madden, 1999; Madden, Bickel, & Jacobs, 1999; Odum, Madden,…”
• Delay discounting: I'm a k, you're a k. (2011, background): “When tested up to one year later with an identical discounting assessment, people have a similar degree of discounting (e.g., Jimura et al., 2011; Kirby, 2009; Simpson & Vuchinich, 2000).”
• On Intertemporal Selfishness: How the Perceived Instability of Identity Underlies Impatient Consumption (2011, background): “Higher discount rates have also been found for heavy drinkers (Simpson and Vuchinich 2000), gamblers, and drug users (e.g., Kirby, Petry, and Bickel 1999; Madden et al. 1997; Petry and Casarella 1999).”
