"Self-control and Commitment"*

//David Laibson (AB Harvard, MSc LSE and PhD MIT) is a professor of 
economics at Harvard University, where he has taught since 1994. His 
research focuses on macroeconomics, intertemporal choice, behavioral 
economics and neuroeconomics. He is best known for developing new models 
of intertemporal choice in which agents are not time consistent; they 
use longer-run commitment devices like RRSPs or housing equity to 
control short-run impulses to spend their wealth. At Harvard he teaches 
a popular undergraduate class on psychology and economics, as well 
graduate courses in macroeconomics and behavioral economics.
