Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high discount rate indicates that an individual prefers immediate benefits to future ones. Desire for a high salary and little chance of advancement indicates a preference for immediate benefits, which signals a high discount rate. Possession of a college or graduate degree, willingness to accept a low-paying job with a good pension plan, and willingness to attain large amounts of training do not necessarily signal a preference for immediate benefits and therefore do not provide evidence of a low discount rate.
