Survival Misperceptions, Time Inconsistency, and Implications for Life-cycle Saving and Welfare by Gahramanov, Emin

“…We also note that empirically observed old age optimistic bias is an important phenomenon, as it helps to avoid unrealistic very old-age debt accumulation within a life-cycle model. In addition, if for a given level of optimistic bias we increase early-life pessimism, this would result in slower capital accumulation, lower bequest income, and thus be detrimental to welfare. …”
