Revealing Naïveté and Sophistication from Procrastination and Preproperation
提出一种新方法，仅通过任务完成行为区分一个人对自己的动态不一致性是天真的还是老练的，发现增加一个未使用的额外机会会导致天真者更晚完成、老练者更早完成任务。
This paper proposes a novel way of distinguishing whether a person is naïve or sophisticated about her own dynamic inconsistency using only her task-completion behavior. It shows that adding an unused extra opportunity to complete a task can lead a naïve (but not a sophisticated) person to complete it later and can lead a sophisticated (but not a naïve) person to complete the task earlier. These results provide a framework for revealing preference and sophistication types from behavior in a general environment that includes that of O’Donoghue and Rabin (1999).
