• Self-Control, Financial Literacy and Consumer Over-Indebtedness (2012, background): “…reliable measures of time preference in experimental choice settings arising from the impact of extra-experimental borrowing and lending opportunities, on which see Coller and Williams (1999), Harrison, Lau, and Williams (2002), Harrison, Rutstrom, and Williams (2005), Cubitt and Read (2007).”
• Meta-Analysis of Present-Bias Estimation using Convex Time Budgets (2019, methodology): “This model allows us to test the asymmetry of the funnel plot (FAT; Egger et al., 1997; Stanley, 2005; 2008) as well as whether there is a genuine effect beyond publication selection (PET). See Stanley and Doucouliagos (2012) and Stanley (2017) for in-depth discussion (especially on the limitations ”
• Working over Time: Dynamic Inconsistency in Real Effort Tasks (2015, unknown): “Cubitt and Read (2007) provide excellent recent discussion of the arbitrage arguments and other issues for choices over monetary payments.”
• Estimating Time Preferences from Convex Budgets (2012, background): “Cubitt and Read (2007) provide substantial discussion on the limits of the preference information that can be obtained from intertemporal choice experiments.”
• Present-Biased Preferences and Credit Card Borrowing (2009, unknown): “Experimental responses are argued to be impacted by extra-experimental borrowing and lending opportunities (Coller and Williams, 1999; Harrison et al., 2002, 2005; Cubitt and Read, 2007), and also potentially associated with credit and liquidity con- straints, and credit experience.”
• Time Discounting for Primary Rewards (2007, background): “Such control is absent from most previous studies of time discounting in people (Ainslie and Monterosso, 2004), which has generated debate over the validity of time discounting studies (Cubitt and Read, 2005).”
• The today and tomorrow of kids: Time preferences and educational outcomes of children (2011, background): “, 2008; Andreoni and Sprenger, 2010b) or the existence of field substitutes for lending or borrowing (Cubitt and Read, 2007; Harrison et al., 2002).”
