Smoking Today and Stopping Tomorrow: A Limited Foresight Perspective

Philippe Jehiel () and Andrew Lilico

No 2603, CESifo Working Paper Series from CESifo

Abstract: This paper considers an intertemporal decision problem in which the agent has limited foresight. It offers an interpretation of why people may smoke when they are young - and arguably have a short horizon of foresight – and refrain from smoking when they get older - and their foresight is better.
