Expected Net Present Value, Expected Net Future Value, and the Ramsey Rule (2010, background): “As observed by Hepburn and Groom (2007), one could define an infinite number of such discount rates by choosing arbitrarily the evaluation date.”
Understanding, modelling and managing longevity risk: key issues and main challenges (2012, methodology): “Nevertheless, an abundant literature on the economic aspects of long-term policy-making has been developed (see for example Gollier (2007, 2008), Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) or Breeden (1979)).”
The social cost of atmospheric release (2015, background): “(Arrow et al. 2013; Gollier 2008)), and I therefore also use a rate that starts at 4 % and decreases exponentially with a 250 year time constant (i.”
The Long-Run Discount Rate Controversy (2014, background): “Gollier (2008) shows that this implies a linearly decreasing term structure, which implies that the efficient discount rate goes to minus infinity for super-long maturities.”
