| Hyperbolic discounting | In behavioral economics, hyperbolic discounting refers to the empirical finding that people more often prefer smaller payoffs to larger payoffs when smaller payoffs come sooner in time relative to larger payoffs than when all the payoffs are either distant or proximal in time, in which case they tend to prefer the larger. The phenomenon of hyperbolic discounting was first discovered and the term first used by Richard Herrnstein in experiments involving pigeons and food (Chung and Herrnstein, 1967) and later reproduced with human subjects.
