两个发展给成熟的贴现技术带来了困境：（1）与最近突出的环境政策问题（例如气候变化和核废料储存）相关的极长的时间范围，使得在预测政策回报和未来福祉时认真考虑子孙后代的利益和极端的不确定性变得非常重要。 (2) 行为经济学这一新兴领域的研究结果清楚地表明，随着时间的推移，个人在做出选择时通常会明显偏离理性处方，从而破坏了贴现方法的堡垒。这两套困境在规范分析和行为分析标题下的一系列论文中得到了解决。这些论文使用心理学和哲学的概念来补充他们的经济学方法。
Two developments pose dilemmas for well established discounting techniques: (1) The extremely long time horizons associated with recently prominent environmental policy problems, such as climate change and nuclear waste storage, have made it important to take seriously both benefits to future generations and extreme uncertainties in projecting the returns to policies and future well being. (2) Findings in the burgeoning field of behavioral economics have made it clear that individuals routinely depart significantly from rational prescriptions when making choices over time, thus undermining a bulwark of the discounting approach. These two sets of dilemmas are addressed in a series of papers under the headings normative analyses and behavioral analyses. These papers use concepts from psychology and philosophy to complement their economic approach.
