DOING IT WHEN OTHERS DO: A STRATEGIC MODEL OF PROCRASTINATION
构建了一个策略模型，研究有现时偏好的个体倾向于与他人一起做苦差事，从而形成拖延博弈，分析互动如何加剧或缓解拖延，发现与更拖延的人为伴可能促使自己提前行动。
This paper develops a strategic model of procrastination in which present‐biased agents prefer to perform an onerous task with someone else. This turns their decision of when to perform the task into a procrastination game —a dynamic coordination game between present‐biased players. The model characterizes the conditions under which interaction mitigates or exacerbates procrastination. A procrastinator matched with a worse procrastinator may perform her task earlier than she otherwise would: she wants to avoid the increased temptation that her peer's company would generate. Procrastinators can thus use bad company as a commitment device to mitigate their self‐control problem.
