Impatience among preschool children and their mothers

Kosse, Fabian und Pfeiffer, Friedhelm (2012): Impatience among preschool children and their mothers. In: Economics Letters, Bd. 115, Nr. 3: S. 493-495

Abstract

Using experimental data of children and their mothers, this paper explores the intergenerational relationship of impatience. The child's impatience stems from a delay of gratification experiment, the mother's from a choice task. Findings demonstrate an intergenerational relationship in decision making.
