Waiting to Choose: The Role of Deliberation in Intertemporal Choice
通过多项实验（包括刚果民主共和国的实地研究），发现引入等待期（将信息获取与选择在时间上分离）能显著减少短视决策，其效果优于提前规划，对政策设计有启示。
We study the impact of deliberation on intertemporal choices. Using multiple experiments, including a field study in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we show that the introduction of waiting periods—a policy that temporally separates information about choices from choices themselves—causes substantially less myopic decisions. These results cannot be captured by models of exponential discounting nor present bias. Comparing the effects of waiting periods to making planned choices over future time periods, the former has a larger impact on reducing myopia. Our results highlight the role of deliberation in decision-making and have implications for policy and intervention design.
