Addiction has attracted considerable attention in health and behavioral economics, and economists have attempted to understand addiction from the viewpoint of decision making over time. This paper investigates whether two time preference parameters can successfully predict smoking status, including cigarette dependence. Both the present bias and the constant time preference parameters account for smoking behavior status and cigarette dependence.
成瘾在健康和行为经济学领域引起了相当大的关注，经济学家试图从时间决策的角度来理解成瘾。本文研究了两个时间偏好参数是否可以成功预测吸烟状况，包括香烟依赖。当前偏见和恒定时间偏好参数都可以解释吸烟行为状况和香烟依赖。
