The cancellation heuristic in intertemporal choice shifts people's time preferences by Sengupta, Arjun, Savani, Krishna

“…The findings indicate that two features of human psychology-diminishing marginal utility and the cancellation heuristic-can be simultaneously utilized to nudge people to make decisions that would be better for them in the long run.…”
