Associations between a one-shot delay discounting measure and age, income, education and real-world impulsive behavior (2009, unknown): “However, as meaningful data for above age 65 are not available, these findings are also compatible with U-shaped models (e.g., Read & Read, 2004), in which discounting decreases through young adulthood and middle age, then increases again beyond retirement age.”
Behavioral Economics of Education: Progress and Possibilities (2015, unknown): “10 Read and Read, 2004.”
The hyperbolic factor: A measure of time inconsistency (2010, background): “In the last few decades, there has been an increasing number of empirical studies suggesting that discounting is not constant, including Benzion et al. (1989), Bleichrodt and Johannesson (2001), Cairns and van der Pol (2000), Green et al. (1994), Kirby and Marakovic (1995), Mazur (1987, 2001), Read”
Living a Fast Life (2010, methodology): “Alternatively, the use of the single-item assessment of time discounting, although a standard measurement technique ( Read and Read 2004 ), may have made our test insensitive to the sex difference that we should have found (e.g., Kirby and Marakrovic 1996; Wilson and Daly 2004).”
