“The hyperbolic shape of the discounting function also helps to explain the previously mentioned violations of the stationarity axiom in economics (Strotz, 1955); i.e., the tendency to prefer LLRs when SSRs are not readily available, and to reverse this preference when the SSR is immediately accessible.”

“Formal study of “dynamic inconsistency” in time preferences began over half a century ago (Strotz 1955), although earlier discussions of self-control problems can certainly be found (see, e.g., Palacios-Huerta 2004, 75-78 (discussing Smith 1759)).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
