THE PERSISTENCE OF POVERTY IN THE CONTEXT OF FINANCIAL INSTABILITY: A BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVE (2015, background): “Like the Indian farmers, budgets at the end of the month are often tight (Shapiro, 2005; Stephens, 2003).”
Cognitive skills affect economic preferences, strategic behavior, and job attachment (2009, result): “The levels of present-bias that we find for our subjects are in line with common findings in the literature [5], [6], [7], and the level of long-term discounting is about the same as in other studies using similar time frames [8].”
