我们调查的存在和稳定性的动态不一致的时间偏好的上下文中，有和没有人际权衡。在纵向实验中，被试在自己和他人之间进行一系列的跨时分配决策。我们发现大量的时间不一致的慷慨：代理人变得更加自私的决策时，立即而不是延迟的后果。结构估计表明，这是因为代理人在自己的消费中表现出现在偏差，而在他人的消费中没有表现出现在偏差。在个体层面上，对自己消费的当前偏见是一种稳定的行为特征，它在个体和社会背景中相互关联。
We investigate the presence and stability of dynamically inconsistent time preferences across contexts with and without interpersonal trade-offs. In a longitudinal experiment subjects make a series of intertemporal allocation decisions of real-effort tasks between themselves and another person. We find substantial time inconsistency in generosity: agents become disproportionally more selfish when decisions have immediate rather than delayed consequences. Structural estimations reveal that this is because agents exhibit present bias in own but not in others' consumption. At the individual level, present bias in own consumption is a stable behavioral trait which is correlated across individual and social contexts.
