A Typology of Players: Between Instinctive and Contemplative (2016, background): “Rubinstein (2013) proposed an alternative index which classifies subjects according to their response time, i.”
A parameter-free analysis of the utility of money for the general population under prospect theory (2009, background): “Both Cox and Sadiraj (2006) and Rubinstein (2006) argue that it is not defined in terms of final wealth, and subsequently conclude that Rabin’s (2000a) critique of the expected utility model does not necessarily hold.”
The hyperbolic factor: A measure of time inconsistency (2010, methodology): “These models have been used in many fields (Akerlof 2002; Harris and Laibson 2001; Krusell and Smith 2003; Laibson 1997; Luttmer and Mariotti 2003; O’Donoghue and Rabin 1999; Rubinstein 2003, 2006; Thaler and Benartzi 2004).”
