Evidence of intertemporal bias in a stated preferences route choice experiment

Bastián Henríquez-Jara, C. Ángelo Guevara Abstract Intertemporal biases can occur in both retrospective assessments (e.g., recalling travel satisfaction) and prospective choices (e.g., choosing a route). In the former, memories of experiences are influenced by specific portions of the event, causing the recalled value to diverge from the normative or averaged value. In the... read more →
