For the Fun of It: Harnessing Immediate Rewards to Increase Persistence in Long-Term Goals (2016, unknown): “…the conflict between activities that offer either delayed or immediate rewards (e.g., eating healthy food that tastes bad vs. tasty food that is unhealthy; Ainslie 2001; Fishbach and Converse 2010; Hoch and Loewenstein 1991; Hofmann, Friese, and Strack 2009; Khan and Dhar 2006; Wertenbroch 1998).”
Delayed reward discounting and addictive behavior: a meta-analysis (2011, background): “Inconsistent preferences are ubiquitous in human behavior, but addiction characteristically comprises vacillation between powerful inclinations toward and away from the addictive behavior (Ainslie 2001).”
Temporal self-regulation theory: A model for individual health behavior (2007, background): “Several models of inter-temporal choice have come from behavioral economics, and perhaps the most prominent is that articulated by Ainslie (1975; 2001).”
A discounting framework for choice with delayed and probabilistic rewards. (2004, unknown): “In addition, building on the seminal contributions of Ainslie (1975, 1992, 2001), the discounting approach may be applied to topics of general psychological, even clinical, concern, such as self-control, impulsivity, and risk taking (e.g., Bickel & Marsch, 2001; Green & Myerson, 1993; Heyman, 1996;…”

Beyond nudges: Tools of a choice architecture (2012, background): “First, individuals tend to be myopic and prefer to receive positive outcomes early, leading them to yield to immediate temptations and heavily discounting future outcomes (Ainslie 2001; Loewenstein and Elster 1992).”
Autonomy and Addiction (2006, background): “George Ainslie's work on time inconsistency of preferences provides a useful perspective on the kind of oscillation here (Ainslie, 2001).”
Human rights, climate change, and discounting (2008, background): “For example, some have advocated hyperbolic discount rates (on which see Ainslie, 2001, Groom et al. 2005, pp. 471–473).”
Affordable loss: behavioral economic aspects of the plunge decision (2009, background): “Given that preferences may change over time (Ainslie, 2001; March, 1978) raises the important theoretical question of how the potential entrepreneur secures the plunge decision.”
