dc.description.abstractWe provide a user’s guide to “exotic” preferences: nonlinear time aggregators, departures from expected utility, preferences over time with known and unknown probabilities, risk sensitive and robust control, “hyperbolic” discounting, and preferences over sets (“temptations”). We apply each to a number of classic problems in macroeconomics and finance, including consumption and saving, portfolio choice, asset pricing, and Pareto optimal allocations.en
